Overview
In today’s technological society, engineers need to know their way around a field spanning from high-tech materials to unmanned aerial vehicles. We need increasingly more engineers whose knowledge is not limited to a single narrow subject, who can tie their knowledge and skills to IT, business and process management, product development, design and the digitalisation of production. All of that and much more is taught in Industrial Engineering!
The Bachelor of Industrial Engineering (BS) program objective is to help students apply scientific and mathematical principles to the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, material, information, and energy. The Bachelor of Industrial Engineering (BS) program is offered online via distance learning.
Course structure
A bachelor’s degree at KIMT is three years (180 credits) and consists of various learning activities:
- Projects – you choose the projects that fit your learning objectives.
- Engineering courses – the solid foundation you need as an engineer.
- Basic courses – including analytics, mathematics, physical sciences and technical design.
- External learning activities – Industrial training, courses at other universities, or a foreign exchange program.
First year
During the first year, you become familiar with the areas of expertise that shape the field of Industrial Engineering. You predominantly develop your competences: you take four engineering courses and six basic courses.
Second year
In the second year, you spend approximately a third of the academic year on engineering concentration modules and engineering projects in one of the themes.
You also take five courses linked to the manufacturing areas of expertise and five courses combined with computer application and mechanism. Engineers develop technologies for users in order to contribute to the solutions for societal issues and to create business opportunities for the industry.
Third year
The third year is all about strengthening your vision and identity and about demonstrating your competences in the Final Bachelor’s Project.
In this individual project you show that you are able to analyze and research a business case relevant to Industrial Engineering by formulating a clear research question. You collect and analyze data, define possible causes and explanations for the issue and provide recommendations for improvement.
You conduct your research at, or in collaboration with, a company or external organization and present your results in a presentation and in a report.
What You'll Study
PROGRAMME SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
- In order to qualify for the studies in KIMT University an applicant must have secondary school diploma or equivalent qualification.
- Learner must be 18 years or older at the beginning of the course.
- An application describing Why are you interested in Engineering
- English requirements: If a learner is not from a majority English-speaking country must provide evidence of English language competency.
Assessment and verification
We assess both the theoretical and practical elements of the course. Assessment is through written assignments, a profile of evidence of teaching standards and observed teaching. All modules within this program are internally assessed by approved center and externally verified by KIMT University. To achieve a pass for a module, learners must provide evidence to demonstrate that they have fulfilled all the learning outcomes and meet the standards specified by all assessment criteria. Judgment that the learners have successfully fulfilled the assessment criteria is made by the Assessor. The Assessor will provide an audit trail showing how the judgement of the learners’ overall achievement has been arrived at.
METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
Knowledge, understanding and intellectual skills are assessed through a combination of course assignments and presentations. The weighting for the final overall assessment for each course taken shall be as follows:
- 90% Assignments
- 10% Presentation and viva
At the end of the program each student also submit a research project paper
Programme modality
The program is studied 100% online through the virtual learning platform with tutor support.
You will receive excellent support from the academic team, including your programme manager and your supervisor who will be with you every step of the way.
Duration
The programme is design to be delivered through 3 years but can be completed earlier.
