BSc in Industrial Engineering

Industrial Engineering is a study program in which you examine a business process from the perspectives of people, engineering and organization. You develop a thorough theoretical basis and pay great attention to the practical applications of this knowledge.

Looking from all sides A whole series of factors plays a role in the performance of any business process. Obviously, the engineering used is important whether the process involves machines, means of transport, operating rooms or computers. The way in which people are evaluated and treat one another also has an effect. And the style of planning and management: how are capacity and resources used? Only once you assess these aspects, will you know what you need to adjust to improve performance.

A feel for engineering In brief, Industrial Engineering is an all-round course that requires you to have a feel for and interest in engineering. It is a combination of engineering, people and organization. With a good theoretical basis and a great deal of attention to practical applications, right from the first year.

It is evident from the Elsevier 2015 and the Higher Education Choices Guide 2016 that the Bachelor's program of Industrial Engineering has the highest score among similar courses.

Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is the best university (of technology) in the Netherlands, according to Elsevier and the Keuzegids Universiteiten 2015 (Guide to Choosing a University 2016). Eindhoven University of Technology was also the best ranked Dutch University in the Global Employability Survey.

Bachelor program Industrial Engineering

Your future begins at TU/e in the Bachelor College, home to the university’s Bachelor study programs. As a student of this Bachelor College you get plenty of scope to compose your own study on the basis of your interests and ambitions. In the Bachelor College you begin with a three-year Bachelor, following a number of compulsory subjects like mathematics and physics and learning engineering design. In the Bachelor College you develop skills that you need in industry and learn to translate your technological knowledge into applications that are relevant for society. Your major forms a substantial part of your Bachelor study. It is where you choose the field in which you want to work later as an engineer. This is the basis of your study program.

NVAO accreditation

This program is legally recognized and accredited by the Accreditation Organisation of the Netherlands and Flanders (NVAO).

Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is a research university specializing in engineering science & technology. Our education, research, and knowledge valorization contribute to:

• science for society: solving the major societal issues and boosting prosperity and welfare by focusing on the Strategic Areas of Energy, Health, and Smart Mobility
• science for industry: the development of technological innovation in cooperation with industry
• science for science: progress in engineering sciences through excellence in key research cores and innovation in education

Excellent Education

We see it as our duty to train engineers to possess a sound scientific basis and scientific depth. They also have the necessary skills to successfully flourish in social sectors and functions. Bachelor College and Graduate School With a view to the future, TU/e has begun a major educational reform. The Bachelor's and Master's programs remain but are being incorporated in a Bachelor College and Graduate School respectively. Students will be given more freedom and can even choose to follow a broad-based program with society-oriented subjects or opt for a very specialized science program.

Advanced quality research

With advanced quality research, the university contributes to the progress of technical sciences and thus the development of technological innovations. We focus on areas in which we participate in the international scientific community. This can play an important role. The TU/e wants to give significant impetus to the knowledge-intensive industries and other social sectors with a high or rapidly evolving technology intensity.

Knowledge Valorisation

The TU/e puts emphasis on knowledge valorization: research results are translated into successful innovations and serve as a basis for creating new products, processes, and enterprises. We encourage students and staff to opt for entrepreneurship.

Mission TU/e

With this profile, the TU/e profiles itself as a leading, international, in engineering science & technology specialized university. We offer excellent teaching and research and thereby contribute to the advancement of technical sciences and research to the development of technological innovations and the growth of wealth and prosperity both in its own region (technology & innovation hotspot Eindhoven) and beyond. In short, the TU/e profiles itself as the university where innovation starts .
