The Department of Industrial Engineering at the School of Engineering and Natural Sciences at Altınbaş University aims to educate its students as innovative and entrepreneurial industrial engineers with their knowledge and communication skills in the field. Students at the Department of Industrial Engineering at the School of Engineering and Natural Sciences at Altınbaş University meet with the realities of the business world and meet with the leading academicians and professionals in the field and gain from their experience. For this purpose, the courses are taught in the areas of basic mathematics and science, probability and statistics, optimization, simulation, random modeling, production planning, manufacturing methods, quality, supply chains, service systems and engineering economics. Courses are supported by modern educational tools. We plan to obtain accreditation for Engineering Education Programs Assessment and Accreditation (MÜDEK) in 2019. As of 2016-2017, education and research activities are being carried out by 1 associate professor, 3 assistant professors and 1 research assistant. The Department of Industrial Engineering; with its qualified and experienced academic and technical staff and research facilities serves the public at large in cooperation with public and private sector organizations in local, regional, national and international scale.

The graduates of this program work as industrial engineers in the public and the private sectors. The graduates of this program are equipped with fundamental and technical knowledge and communication skills, foreign language skills, teamwork skills in order to be able to work in these areas. The program graduates have so far been employed in companies such as DeFacto, Colin’s, Burgan Bank and Maya Plastik.
