Employment Opportunities for Graduates
Industrial engineering has wide applications in manufacturing, service, commercial, and governmental sectors. Rapid industrial development in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia definitely requires an increasing number of competent and well trained industrial engineers. Typical industries and organizations which employ industrial engineers include:
- Oil & Gas
- Chemical industries
- Electrical power generation and distribution
- Automation and machinery manufacturers
- Food processing industries
- Health systems management
- Trading, logistics and transportation industries
- Banking and service organizations
- Training, research and development institutions
Examples of job responsibilities for industrial engineers are as follow:
- Designing floor layouts for factories
- Designing operations to improve system efficiency
- Reducing time and waste in processing
- Allocating resources to optimize system performance
- Developing a safety plan for preventing work-related injuries
- Planning, analysis, and design of manufacturing methods
- Design and development of integrated physical and operational systems
- Design, development and maintenance of distribution system for goods and services.
- Productivity improvement and effective utilization of human and physical resources
- Planning, inspection and maintenance engineering
- Job and work place design
Key to Course Numbers and Department Code:
- Each department is referred to by a code of a minimum of two and maximum of 4 letters (no numbers)
- The hundredth digit refers to the school year
- The tenth digit refers to specialty within the department/branch
- The ones digit refers to course serial within the same specialty
