The Department was the first university department in Hong Kong to offer degree programmes in Industrial Engineering. The first BSc(Eng) in Industrial Engineering was conferred in 1976.
The Department educates and produces professional engineers, who operate and manage businesses, by offering the following Bachelor Degree programme:
- BEng in Industrial Engineering and Logistics Management (IELM)
BEng in Industrial Engineering and Logistics Management (IELM)
The Industrial Engineering and Logistics Management (IELM) programme is designed to fuse foundational knowledge and cutting-edge technologies for optimising real-world systems. Our curriculum includes a diverse range of fundamental system analytics and computing disciplines, such as operational research, mathematical and data-driven optimisation, and system simulation and modeling. Additionally, students are exposed to innovative artificial intelligence and intelligent systems technologies. Through rigorous coursework and hands-on experiences that seamlessly blend theoretical concepts with advanced technologies, the programme offers students rich opportunities to engage in real-world projects and research that push the boundaries of technology.
Equipped with in-depth skills in data analytics, decision-making, robotics and automation, and human-machine interfaces, our students are empowered to pursue advanced studies and explore diverse career paths across a wide range of industries, including logistics and transportation, robotics, healthcare engineering, manufacturing, and more.
The main areas of expertise developed in this curriculum are as follows:
- Data Analytics and Computing – Big data analytics, data-driven optimisation, operations research, statistics analysis, system modelling and simulation, quality control and process optimisation, blockchain, and project management.
- Robotics and Intelligent Systems – Artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, robotics, virtual reality, human-machine interface, internet of things, and manufacturing.
