PREAMBLE
Industrial
Engineering is concerned with the design, improvement and installation
of integrated systems of labor, materials, equipment and space.
It draws on specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical,
physical, social and computer sciences, together with the principles
and methods of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict,
measure, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems.
The
Industrial Engineering as a specialization under the faculty
of Mechanical Engineering has been given a due recognition by
forming into a division under the Department of Management studies,
in the year 1973. The same division has been upgraded to a full-fledged
department of Industrial Engineering in the year 2002.
