Track: Global Engineering Education

Abstract

Industrial engineering is a branch of engineering which mainly focuses on the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of men, materials, equipment, and energy. The purpose of this study was to provide an overview of industrial engineering education in the Philippines. 91 schools that offered industrial engineering program were assessed through its website and 10 universities that provide a graduate school in industrial engineering were analyzed. The result indicated that the industrial engineering program in the Philippines had only one doctoral program. This condition was found as a new opportunity to offer a new doctoral program in industrial engineering. The opening of PhD in Industrial Engineering program by Mapúa University will provide more opportunities to prospective students and can contribute to the advancement of industrial engineering education in the Philippines
