Industrial Engineering at Stellenbosch University

Thursday, 31 May 2007 12:28

Industrial Engineers are responsible for the Analysis, Design, Planning, Implementation, Operation, Management and Maintenance of Integrated Systems consisting of People, Money, Material, Equipment, Information and Energy.

It is difficult to define Industrial Engineering in a few well-chosen words since the boundaries of the field of study are certainly fuzzy. This however implies a very definite advantage since a person with a degree in Industrial Engineering has a very wide choice in terms of work environment, type of employer or self-employment.

Industrial Engineering is for you if you agree with most of the following statements about yourself:

  • You are technically minded with a strong interest in business and finance
  • You have diverse interests possibly clouding your choice between the various pure branches of engineering, the natural sciences and/or the analytical branches of commerce
  • You enjoy working with people
  • You have an aptitude for science and mathematics
  • You are interested in computers and are eager to learn more about computer programming and application development
  • You have the ability to analyse a problem from both a microscopic and telescopic (holistic) perspective
  • You believe the real world is not only governed by the laws of nature but is also affected by chance
