Thesis Preparation and Defense

Students are required to prepare and defend a thesis, which is a critical component of the program. The thesis is designed to demonstrate the student's ability to conduct original research and contribute to the field of industrial engineering.

• Thesis Proposal: Students are required to submit a thesis proposal, which includes a title, research question, objectives, methodology, and expected outcomes.
• Thesis Preparation: Students work under the supervision of a faculty advisor to prepare their thesis, which includes conducting research, collecting and analyzing data, and writing the thesis document.
• Thesis Defense: Students defend their thesis in front of a panel of examiners, which includes a presentation of their research and a question-and-answer session.

Admission Requirements

To be admitted to the program, students must meet the following requirements:

• Bachelor's Degree: Students must have a bachelor's degree in a relevant field, such as engineering or physics.
• GPA: Students must have a minimum GPA of 3.0 or equivalent.
• Language Proficiency: Students must demonstrate proficiency in English, as the program is taught in English.
• Research Experience: Students with research experience are preferred, but not required.

Career Opportunities

Graduates of the program can pursue a variety of career opportunities, including:

• Research and Development: Graduates can work in research and development positions in industry, academia, or government.
• Engineering: Graduates can work as engineers in a variety of fields, including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and civil engineering.
• Management: Graduates can work in management positions, including project management, operations management, and supply chain management.
