Introduction
Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) is a professional discipline that focuses on developing and implementing optimal solutions from a system-level perspective.
We are a multi-disciplinary engineering department covering a broad range of engineering activities. ISE is concerned with designing and enhancing product and service performance in the context of efficiency, productivity, quality and reliability, cost-effectiveness, customer satisfaction, and environmental impact.
As you can envisage, ISE is widely sought after in many organizations, ranging from industrial enterprises, banks, logistics companies, and government departments, to insurance companies, etc. ISE enables such organizations to achieve better value for money and helps people improve their living standards. Since our establishment in the 1960s, we have been committed not only to providing high-quality education but also to advancing academic research. We strive to sustain our position as a leading department of its kind in the region, in innovative practices in teaching and learning, applied research, and the promotion of knowledge transfer.
We also actively engaged in collaboration with industry via joint research projects, consultancies, and teaching company schemes.
This strong collaboration with both local and regional industries, together with its excellent facilities and staff expertise, provides students with the opportunity to be immersed in this collaborative environment which will be of great benefit to them when they graduate.
