Doctor of Philosophy (Engineering) - Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering

(Ph.D. (Engineering) - Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering)
Faculty of Engineering



Overview

    The Doctor of Philosophy Program in Engineering offers the most useful for the integration of academic multidisciplinary in various fields such as Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Material Engineering and Chemical Engineering. The program will ultimately benefit candidates for higher potential in academic research and will open the opportunity for higher level research development.     Doctor of Philosophy Program in Engineering (Industrial and Manufacturing  Engineering) include, but not limit to, literature Review, philosophy of engineering, engineering seminar and dissertation which related to manufacturing and service industries that focus on the design, develop and manage the manufacturing processes, quality control and assurance, engineering management, planning, controlling, implementation and evaluation of integrated systems of people, money, knowledge, information, machines and equipment, energy, materials, and processes to increase working efficiency and productivity improvement, develop and manage the manufacturing processes, including productivity, quality control and assurance, and engineering management.
