Industrial Engineering Contact Information Address: 255-Ho, Engineering Building, Kyung Hee University, 1 Seocheon-Dong, Giheung-Gu, Yongin-Si, Gyeonggi-Do, Korea Tel: +82 31 201 2552, Fax: +82 31 203 4004 Email: khuie@khu.ac.kr, URL: http://ie.khu.ac.kr What is Industrial Engineering? Industrial engineering is a broad field concerned with the design and management of production operations and with the development of management decision-assisting systems involving information and control elements. The curriculum explicitly provides topics useful in dealing not only with the physical aspects of problems, but also with organizational, economic and human aspects. Such problems are found in industry as well as in service organizations and government agencies. To analyze and solve the problems of operation, production, and information systems, the department emphasizes the cultivation of technical knowledge and provides the students with original and efficient research ability. Industrial engineering provides courses not only necessary in the specific field but also essential in the other engineering fields. Industrial Engineering at Kyung Hee The Industrial Engineering major of the School Mechanical and Industrial Systems Engineering was created in 1979, corresponding to the needs of educating industrial engineers for booming industrial sectors in Korea. Industrial engineering involves mathematical programming, quality management and engineering, management information system, and human factors engineering and engineering economics. Recently, the major has expanded to include non-traditional industrial engineering fields involving financial engineering, environment control, and product liability. The graduate program in Industrial Engineering was founded in 1990 to provide graduate students with a variety of industrial research projects and professional practice. Other graduate programs are also available at the Industrial Liaison Research Institute at Kyung Hee University.
