The Master's program curriculum at the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management is an advanced extension of undergraduate studies designed to bridge the gap between academic theory and practical industrial research. Our curriculum is strategically structured across three dimensions: Generalist Breadth, Specialized Depth, and Practical Application, cultivating "T-shaped" professionals who possess both a wide-ranging perspective and deep technical expertise.

1. Generalist Breadth: Building a Strong Foundation

To ensure a comprehensive understanding of the five major domains of Industrial Engineering, students are required to master three core modules. Every student must select at least one course from each area to establish a solid professional baseline:

• Information Technology (IT): Business Process Analysis and Management, Design and Analysis of Algorithms.

• Operations Management: Advanced Production Management, Advanced Quality Management, Mathematical Programming.

• Ergonomics & Service Systems: Advanced Human Factors Engineering, Advanced Work Study.

2. Specialized Depth: Cross-Domain Integration

After establishing core competencies, students advance to specialized integration modules designed to meet the complex demands of modern industry:

• Smart Operations & Supply Chain: Integration of IT and Operations Management to boost efficiency. Key courses include ERP Seminars, Business Modeling, Supply Chain Management (SCM), and Design Chain Management.

• Data Science & AI Intelligence: Deepening expertise in Big Data through courses like Advanced Neural Networks, Soft Computing, Data Mining, and Business Intelligence.

• UX & Innovation Management: Integration of Ergonomics and Operations Management. Focused on user-centric R&D, we offer courses in Cognitive Human Factors, Human-Machine Systems, and Service Innovation Management to create high-value customized products.

• Lean Production 4.0: A holistic approach combining IT, human-centric design, and efficiency. Using Multi-Objective Decision Making and Simulation as a base, we prepare students for the mass customization needs of Industry 4.0 through our Lean Production curriculum.

3. Global Perspective & Research Excellence

We prioritize international mobility and research impact. A key graduation requirement for our Master's students is the publication of at least one conference paper.

• International Engagement: We actively encourage and subsidize students to attend international conferences and present their research in English.

• Proven Success: Our graduates consistently demonstrate high research productivity. In 2016, for example, our international conference participation rate reached 167%, with over half of our students presenting multiple times before graduation.

• Publication Pipeline: These English presentations serve as a foundation for students and advisors to publish high-impact results in prestigious international journals.

Why Choose Us?
