Industrial Engineering

Industrial Engineering has been designed to optimize operations in manufacturing, service, and transactional industries through process analysis, operations research, industrial analytics, and supply chain integration, with the aim of creating a positive social impact.

Mission
Cooperate with society to improve the quality of life and promote its sustainable and equitable development, through research, innovation and the training of upright and competent professionals in industrial engineering. 

Core Components of the Program
· Operations Research
· Production Control Systems
· Quality, Safety, Health, Environment, and Human Talent Management Systems
· Logistics and Supply Chain Systems

International Accreditation
ESPOL's industrial engineering program is accredited by the ABET engineering accreditation commission since 2015. 
The Industrial Engineering Program ESPOL is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Comission of ABET. Besides, the program has the EUR-ACE seal granted by the Accreditation Council of ENTER agency and the European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education (ENAEE).

Curiosity, analysis, innovation, teamwork, and the ability to abstract and think logically, along with a basic understanding of experimental sciences and mathematics, are some of the characteristics you should possess to become an industrial engineer.
