Bachelor of Engineering in Industrial Engineering and Management

• Background

Industrial Engineering attracts countless international students annually. It promises the best of Engineering and Business. It gives undergrads key notions about the design, planning and optimization of production and manufacturing processes. That’s the core of an Industrial Engineering Bachelor’s degree.

Stay tuned as we look at the bigger picture and give you more details about what Industrial Engineering is, why you should study Industrial Engineering, what to expect from such a degree, and what your career prospects would be after graduation. The Industrial Engineering & Management Bachelor’s degree program offered at IST combines engineering studies with business components. The program provides an interdisciplinary education in technological and natural sciences, infused with business expertise, social and soft skills, as well as practical experience. Students, thus, learn to solve complex problems at the interface of production and management.

• Justification

The Bachelor in Industrial Engineering and Management from IST Burkinafaso  gives students the knowledge regarding technology that can be applied to the organizational level of a company.

Students are given the task of creating new technologies and turning these into useable solutions. Students need to be able to analyse a problem, develop a solution, and taken into consideration a company’s abilities and constraints: finance, planning, logistics, and people.

The skills gained during the engineering and management degree allows students to pursue careers in management and technology. The most popular career choices include product managers, process technologists, and working in the service sector or the government.
