Graduation Project
To graduate from the Industrial Engineering (IE) program, students must successfully
complete a graduation project (GP) in their final year. The graduation project's goal is to increase
the student's knowledge by implementing the engineering skills and experiences he gained as an
undergraduate. Students’ graduation projects will reflect their accumulated education in science,
engineering, labs, and practical training. This will help the students to get ready for their
professional careers following graduation. Another goal is to assist graduate engineers in finding
suitable careers. Therefore, it is advised that the topic of the graduation project should be relevant
to the labor market needs and the nation's development strategy.
On the other hand, the graduation project encourages students to create projects that
demonstrate their intellectual, technical, and creative ability. Moreover, students develop lifelong
learning skills and connect to real-world applications. Specifically, such projects in industrial
engineering enable students to develop, implement, and enhance industrial processes, operations,
and systems in order to improve productivity, eliminate waste and non-value-added activities, and
improve resource utilization.
The graduation project in industrial engineering is a two-semester course in which students
work under the guidance and supervision of faculty members. In the Industrial Engineering
Department such projects are organized as team activities, but the maximum number of students
per each project cannot exceed four.
Due to the recent establishment of the Department of Industrial
Engineering, the graduation projects for the department’s students
are still under implementation and will be announced upon
completion.
