Bachelor's in Industrial Engineering and Management

The Bachelor's in Industrial Engineering and Management is a 3-year first-cycle degree (6 semesters, 180 ECTS) at the Porto School of Engineering (ISEP), in daytime hours. It is devoted to the management and efficiency of industrial production, products and services, with the aim of making the best use of resources: people, equipment, materials and production, logistics, quality, environment and safety processes.

The plan combines technology and management. After a grounding in calculus, algebra, physics, programming, electricity and electronics and computer-aided design, it includes Business Management, Materials Engineering, Manufacturing Technologies, Productivity and Work Study, Industrial Cost Analysis, Product and Process Engineering, Decision Models, Production Planning and Control, Warehouse and Inventory Management, Distribution and Transport, Quality Management, Occupational Health and Safety, Automation and Robotics and Industrial Simulation. Each year has a year-long Interdisciplinary Project, and students can do an internship in companies and organisations.

Graduates work in industrial or service companies, in process analysis and optimisation, industrial and operations management, production planning, logistics, project management, the organisation of production systems, ergonomics, energy and environmental management, industrial health and safety, quality and product management. At ISEP, they can apply to the Master's in Industrial Engineering and Management and in Supply Chain Engineering and Management.
