Program Outcome
Graduates from the Industrial Engineering PhD course will have a thorough specialist knowledge of their field (product and technology process quality management, comprehensive high-order innovation development and implementation of methods using computer-assisted data mining production concepts) to allow them to apply creative and research work in the field. Graduates will have mastered modern principles of designing and managing technical projects, with a focus on the development of high-order innovation. They will be able to prepare, lead and evaluate such projects. They will have developed their communication skills and be able to follow through their ideas and views. They will be thoroughly familiar with data handling methodologies using computer-assisted approaches referred to as soft computing. They will be prepared to implement the techniques and tools of Industry 4.0 into practical applications. They will also be able to quickly adapt to demanding work in other fields and interdisciplinary research. They will be poised to continue their skill growth independently and comprehensively deal with complex research, technical and engineering issues.
