Industrial Engineering with Informatics – Bachelor

Industrial Engineering with Informatics – Bachelor

The three-year program at the University of Applied Sciences in Ferizaj, Industrial Engineering with Informatics, will offer students the highest international standards of theoretical and practical learning in the field of industrial engineering by using various IT tools and applications. This program will address the concepts of industrial engineering through the analysis of needs and a focus on information technology and programming in solving problems and/or concrete needs.

Purpose

The purpose of the bachelor study program “Applied Informatics” is to provide students with balanced knowledge in the field of computer sciences and business management with the main objective: the formation of specialized staff with practical and applicative skills in analyzing, designing, developing, implementing, and operating information technologies in various fields, and to equip them with fundamental knowledge of the business environment and its management.

Expected learning outcomes

After the successful completion of this program, students will be able to:

• Identify, formulate, and solve industrial problems with creative and innovative ideas;

• Develop and improve organization, communication, control, and other multidisciplinary professional skills in industrial enterprises;
• Initiate, plan, and manage various professional projects in the field of industrial engineering;
• Develop technical design skills by using application software (such as AutoCAD, Inventor, etc.) in the design, analysis, and simulation of product operation (rapid prototyping generation, visualization through VR technology, etc.);
• Apply knowledge of concepts, theories, and disciplines in industrial engineering, supported by information technology;
• Implement comprehensive processes through which they can integrate the modeling of mechanical systems with software and electrical systems;
• Utilize and apply various engineering techniques to solve real problems in product/system development/design/improvement processes by using modern equipment and systems (software, 3D scanners and printers, etc.);
• Understand the complexity of the production operations process and its impact on product or process design, and vice versa, by optimizing production costs;
• Understand the importance of environmental protection and its impact on product design and production processes;

Teaching Methodology:

• Theoretical lectures – for presenting basic concepts and academic content.
• Practical exercises – for developing skills and applying knowledge in real situations
• Discussions and group work – to encourage critical thinking and collaboration.
• Case studies – for analyzing concrete situations and solving problems.
• Projects and individual assignments – to develop research skills and independent work.
• Professional practice, when required, to enable real experience in the relevant field.
