Description
The Industrial Engineering and Management (EGI) aims at rationalizing the use of resources (machines, transportation systems, tools, computer resources, people, space, financial resources, etc.) in industrial and service companies with the aim of improving its overall performance. The objective of the MEGI course is to train specialists with technical and scientific knowledge to address key issues currently facing productive systems of the companies. It provides the acquisition of specific skills that allow the application of engineering methods and scientific management principles to the productive systems of goods and services, aiming to achieve the most effective integration and coordination of the company's processes, using different types of human, material, technical, economic and informational resources.
Key learning outcomes
The graduate is expected to demonstrate skills to address problems in a holistic approach:
1. to understand and apply the principles of Industrial Engineering and Management;
2. to creatively propose the formulation of hypotheses, the definition of methodologies and the critical analysis of the results obtained;
3. to autonomously search for, processing, analyzing and managing information;
4. to prepare to overcoming the challenges faced by the multi-disciplinary nature of problems in the area, enabling to make effective decisions for clients, employers and society.
