The Department of Industrial Engineering and Management
Department Head: Dr. Dizza Beimel
 Industrial engineering and management is an area of engineering which deals with technological and managerial aspects of organizational operation. Industrial and management engineers can find their place in planning, establishment and management of the infrastructure of organizational processes.
Objectives
 To provide the students with applied-academic know-how in the field of management engineering with emphasis on the relevance and dynamism of the future employment environment.
To enable students to acquire the basis for further studies for advanced degrees in industrial engineering and management.
To maintain a far-reaching curriculum which combines economic and computerized analytical and systemic aspects in order to train the student to become an engineer of the first rank.
To train expert engineers able to become leaders in all sectors of the economy.
Characteristics
Industrial engineering and management is an engineering sphere related to the technological and managerial aspects of organizational operation.
Industrial and management engineers can take part in planning, establishment and management of the infrastructure of processes in any organization.
The Department offers three clusters which enable students to specialize in management of the supply chain, information systems and marine resources.
The applied final project enables graduates to acquire practical experience in industry and services
Graduates of the Department are integrated into a wide range of industrial and service areas.
The academic staff combine theoretical knowledge with long-established practical experience.
The Department offers advanced laboratories adapted to the needs of the market, such as for example an ERP laboratory based on the infrastructure of Oracle Israel, a laboratory for computerized production systems etc.
Curriculum
The curriculum consists of a four-year course leading to a B.Sc degree in industrial engineering and management. (160 points)
The study program includes basic scientific courses in mathematics and physics, studies of computers and information systems including analysis and construction of information systems, C++ programming etc; economics and management and such core subjects as operational management, project management, engineering content etc.
Elective clusters: the program includes three elective study clusters: management of the supply chain including unique courses supporting this innovative management approach; management of information systems including courses which supply a wide infrastructure for integration in industry; marine resources management, which includes courses on the marine environment and international commerce.
The final project is based on the theoretical background acquired by the student with the challenge of its application in the organization. The student pinpoints the problems existing in the organization and offers an appropriate engineering solution.
Employment possibilities
Graduates of the department are integrated into various spheres of employment and senior positions in hi-tech concerns, service systems, the defense establishment, and varied areas such as: management of logistics and purchasing systems and infrastructures; management of production systems, control systems, service systems, quality control systems, information systems, computering, human resources management etc.
