Course Overview
The Bachelor of Engineering: Industrial Engineering aims to produce graduates that are flexibly equipped to work effectively within industrial teams or research and development groups, contributing knowledge and specialist skills, demonstrating an awareness of the context of work, and taking responsibility for personal and professional development. The programme further aims to enable students to demonstrate comprehensive understanding of subject matter in engineering and business and develop productive solutions for processes found in organisations and thereby enhancing the competitiveness of such organisations. This would enable graduates to apply knowledge of industrial management in planning and optimising business operations in various industries in the private and public sectors, such as manufacturing, mining, management consultancies, banking, healthcare, transport, and agriculture. The Bachelor of Engineering: Industrial Engineering prepares industrial experts to conduct comprehensive research, evaluate findings/discussions in literature, analyse and argue from evidence, engage in rigorous intellectual analysis, and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field. Overall, this programme is believed to produce graduates who are able to make a contribution to industry, the community and the society as a whole. The Bachelor of Engineering: Industrial Engineering is designed to enable the graduates to register as Engineer-in-Training with the Engineering Council of Namibia (ECN) pending the fulfillment of post qualification requirements. The programme outcomes reflect the required levels of competence as defined by the ECN, while the programme has also been designed to meet accreditation requirements of the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA), and the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) of the United States of America.
