The program of Industrial Engineering in Tianjin University develops in parallel with the cutting-edge, theory and methods of industrial engineering. The program is designed to cultivate senior industrial engineering and management talents with basic knowledge and skills of broad engineering technology, management, humanity, social sciences. The IE graduates understand solid theory and methods of economics, management and system engineering, and they have strong mathematical ability and Industrial Engineering skills.

Program Features: IE program is inter-disciplinary. Industrial engineering program is designed to cultivate students with profound understanding of modern engineering technology, manufacturing and service system. The students can apply contemporary management knowledge and industrial engineering methods to conduct qualitative and quantitative analysis for system design, implementation, optimizationand control. The program integrates IE theory with practice. In recent years, IE department has collaborated with FAW, Motorola, Dongfeng Automobile, Media, Foxconn, Huawei and other companies, and established long term collaborations. IE department is active in international cooperation It has links with the IE departments of many famous universities in America, Canada, Australia, HK, Taiwan and other regions. Outstanding students are provided with opportunities to study abroad as the exchange students. And the department focuses on practical education to build up students’ ability of finding and solving problems. The department has a comprehensive IE lab where students have access to conduct experiments related to systems simulations, ergonomics, logistics, production line design and quality control.

Major courses: Fundamentals of Mechanical Design, Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering, Fundamentals of Computer Technology, Economics, Principles of Management, Accounting, Financial Management, Basics of Industrial Engineering, Production Planning and Control, Quality Management, Cost Control, Management Information System, Human Factors, Engineering Economy, Reliability Engineering, Systems Simulation, Advanced Manufacturing System.
