Program. What do the technical courses entail?

As an industrial engineer, you make choices in business operations and try to predict all kinds of phenomena using mathematics and programming. Not just the weather, traffic congestion or how heavy the foundation of a building should be; you can also model business processes. This is primarily what takes place in Industrial Engineering. By changing small things in a structured and controlled way, it becomes clear what effects the changes have on the outcome. In this way, you can optimize processes but also design new processes for which you can predict the outcome in advance. Rather than trial and error, you make informed choices or decisions based on known theories.

Using mathematics, you learn not only the basic theories needed to create such models but also how to think and work in a systematic and structured manner.
