Vice Chair(s):

Our departmental objective is to provide high quality education and to develop a high level of conscience in education and research through our MS and PhD programs. Graduate research topics have the potential to contribute to the education of our students and thus an original contribution to international scientific literature is attained.

In addition, our department has contributed to various national and international scientific activities and we aim to increase these in the future. Through activities like conferences, seminars, congresses, and through papers published in international refereed journals, not only our department and the university but also the TRNC have been promoted and this effort will continue.

Our department has been initiating projects that will contribute to the efficiency and efficacy of our university in various areas. One of these is the Double Major Program jointly developed with the Mechanical Engineering Department.

Departmental Facilities

Within the Industrial Engineering premises, there are laboratories for educational and research purposes, a student club which fosters professional and social development among students, a library, a reading room, seven classrooms, a multi-purpose auditorium equipped with sophisticated sound and light technology, and a seminar room with a wide selection of audiovisual presentation tools. All classrooms and offices have central heating and cooling.

We have various laboratories for education and research purposes. These are computer laboratories, equipped with the recent state-of-the-art technology, providing service to students 7 days a week, 14 hours a day; simulation and optimization laboratory, used mostly for graduate research; multimedia laboratory, used for the purpose of preparing files that contain multi-media communication tools and CDs, or for presentations that require sound and action; work study and ergonomics laboratory, mostly used for undergraduate courses, and computer integrated manufacturing laboratory, used for enabling students to comprehend and apply computer integrated manufacturing.
