Graduates will be able to identify real industrial engineering and
engineering management problems in production, quality, safety,
supply chain, optimization, economic, management,
manufacturing, service and information systems.
Graduates will be able to formulate problems accurately, generate
alternative solutions, evaluate those alternatives, and present the
best solutions to clients or decision makers in a fashion that
facilitates decision-making processes.
Graduates will be able to implement effective solutions to real
industrial problems by applying contemporary industrial
engineering and management tools.
Graduates will be able to assume leadership roles with strong
communication skills and will be able to work competently and
ethically alone and as team members.
Recommendations: I suggest the following modifications to the objective(s)
