Industrial Engineering
Programmes
This programme is designed to produce industry-ready
graduates with the necessary skills and knowledge
to solve problems within the manufacturing,
public utilities and other associated industries.
The programme focuses on the major areas of industrial
systems engineering with the depth and rigour which will
allow students to solve novel problems in the areas and to
pursue research in engineering and in other scholastic works.
Upon completion of this programme, students will be able to
assess user requirements and manage the acquisition and
implementation of the various components needed to
effectively solve any industrial problem.
MASTERS OF ENGINEERING ([Link].)
DEGREE IN INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Industrial automation is the central theme of the programme.
It integrates the use of computer technology and advanced
manufacturing techniques in the design and implementation
of industrial systems. The design and use of industrial robots
are introduced and this is combined with advanced control
engineering techniques to produce automated industrial
systems.
TARGET GROUP
Candidates with a first degree in industrial, mechanical,
electrical, electronic or chemical engineering. Persons with
an applied physics degree will be accepted on a case by
case basis.
COURSE DURATION
The duration of the Masters Degree is a minimum of twelve
(12) months, full time, and eighteen (18) months part time.
Graduate students are required to earn sixty (60) credits as
follows.
44 credits from 12 taught courses.
16 credits from a 15,000 word thesis on a chosen area in
industrial engineering.

ASSOCIATE OF APPLIED SCIENCE DEGREE IN
INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS, OPERATIONS AND
MAINTENANCE (AASC. ISOM)
The Industrial Systems Operations and Maintenance
programme is designed to equip participants with the requisite
skills and knowledge for the safe and economical operation of
most of the machinery and equipment used in industrial plants
and facilities requiring heating air-conditioning and electrical
power generation. Graduates of this programme will be at an
engineering technician level with sound theoretical background to understand and identify equipment faults and make
recommendations. They will also be able to supervise personnel in the operation and maintenance of industrial equipment.
OBJECTIVES
To equip candidates with the skills of maintenance and
operation of machinery and equipment in industry with the
requisite skills of planning and implementing systems control.
MODES OF INSTRUCTION
In order to make the programme interesting, a variety of
methods will be used to facilitate teaching and learning with
the purpose of accommodating the learning styles of the
diverse population of candidates. These will include:
Audio-visual presentations
Seminars
Active class discussion and
Student presentations
debates
Guest speakers
Team teaching
Case studies
Quizzes
Field trips
Panel discussion
Role playing
METHODS OF EVALUATION
These will be both formative and summative and will employ
the following:

for contributing towards the process of technical implementation and innovation within the manufacturing industry.
COURSE PHILOSOPHY AND RATIONALE
This course of study is designed to take advantage of
computer-aided engineering tools and management systems
available to educate and train a multi-disciplinary engineer.
Such a person will have knowledge of industrial systems,
design and implementation, together with other traditional
fields of engineering that are associated with manufacturing,
but will have an investigative approach to problem solving.
