As the Department of Industrial Engineering at Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU), we provide education and conduct research at both undergraduate and graduate levels in accordance with international standards. Our mission is to educate individuals who combine engineering knowledge with analytical thinking, are solution-oriented, and uphold ethical values.
Our Industrial Engineering and Management Engineering undergraduate programs are accredited by ABET, ensuring global recognition. The medium of instruction is English, and our students gain competence not only in core engineering disciplines but also in management sciences, optimization, production systems, quality management, ergonomics, and decision support systems.
Our graduate programs—MSc in Industrial Engineering (with/without thesis) and MSc in Engineering Management (non-thesis)—bridge the fields of engineering and management. These programs equip students with advanced skills in analysis, system design, and research methodologies. With flexible structures tailored to both academic and professional career goals, students can choose the format that best suits their aspirations.
The PhD Program in Industrial Engineering aims to train experts capable of contributing original research to the scientific community. Doctoral students specialize in advanced optimization, system integration, data analytics, artificial intelligence, and sustainability.
Our department conducts research that aligns with current technological trends, covering both theoretical and applied topics. Our primary research areas include:
- Operations Research and Optimization
- Decision Support Systems and Data Analytics
- Smart Manufacturing Systems and Industry 4.0
- Supply Chain Management and Logistics
- Ergonomics and Human-Machine Interaction
- Sustainability and Green Manufacturing
- Artificial Intelligence Applications and System Simulation
- Facility Planning and Design
Our educational and research activities are supported by state-of-the-art laboratories, including:
- Computer-Integrated Manufacturing Laboratory
- Operations Research and Simulation Laboratory
- Production Systems and Time Study Laboratory
- Human Factors and Ergonomics Laboratory
- Occupational Health and Safety Laboratory
Our undergraduate and graduate students apply their theoretical knowledge to real-world problems through hands-on experience in these laboratories.
Our students benefit from EMU's exchange programs and bilateral agreements with numerous respected international universities, allowing them to participate in academic exchange and collaborative projects abroad.
Our graduates work in a variety of roles across production and service industries, consulting firms, financial institutions, logistics companies, and healthcare systems. Many of our alumni also pursue successful academic careers at prestigious universities around the world.
With our strong academic staff, dynamic research culture, internationally accredited programs, and modern infrastructure, we invite you to become a part of the EMU Industrial Engineering family.
Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Orhan Korhan
