Undergraduate degree programs The faculty offers three programs of study toward the undergraduate degree.
Industrial engineering and management Three main areas of study are offered from which each student chooses one: • Manufacturing and Services Systems Engineering. • Enterprise Information System Engineering. Emphasizes the aspect of information technology and its use in the varied areas of industrial engineering and management. This area of concentration trains students in the use of basic computer science tools (
databases and
algorithms, internet systems) and system analysis. Here too, special emphasis is put on advance subjects such as management of organizations – customer relations,
electronic commerce and
knowledge management. • Economics. The planning, evaluation and marketing aspects of economics systems associated with the various areas in industrial engineering and management are explored.
Information systems engineering Data science and engineering Graduate programs The Faculty of Data and Decision Sciences offers five research and two non-research graduate programs:
Information Management Engineering The graduate program in Information Management Engineering, in designed to provide the knowledge needed by today's and tomorrow's professionals for understanding and developing intelligent and complex information systems with emphasis on the technological-engineering side. The program emphasizes research and focuses on development, implementation and evaluation of methodologies in the areas of systems and
software engineering,
system analysis,
database,
artificial intelligence,
game theory,
computer graphics and vision, communication and
distributed systems. These research areas constitute the infrastructure for building the necessary technologies and tools for developing technologically innovation and fundamentally advanced
information systems.
Economics and Finance This program offers Master and Ph. D. degrees in Economics. It focuses on the quantitative/technological aspects of economics. The program enables the students to participate in elective courses in related areas within the faculty of Industrial Engineering and Management.
Operation research (OR) and System Analysis This research area deals with building mathematical models of decision-making processes, development of mathematical techniques and algorithms for processing the models, and applications of the resulting techniques and algorithms in engineering, finance, management, medicine, service systems, and more.
Behavioral Science and Management The purpose of this program is to give students advanced training in scientific theory, methodology and applications related to behavior of individuals at work, as well as social behavior in industrial systems and in formal organizations. The program deals with various aspects of integrating the human operator with engineering systems. This program has two basic options: • Industrial Psychology (limited to students with a degree in psychology): Within this option there are two areas of specialization:
Industrial and Organizational Psychology and
Human-Factors Engineering. The program confers the degree os Master of Science in Behavioral and Management Sciences – Industrial Psychology. • Labor Relations and Personnel Management: This option prepares students for both academic and practical work in function of managing
human resources in an organization. The program confers the degree of Master of Science in Behavioral and Management Sciences – Industrial Relations and Manpower Administration.
Industrial Engineering (IE) The graduate program in Industrial Engineering (IE) offers both M.Sc. and Ph. D. degrees. The program is designed to prepare both for academics and professional careers. IE covers a wide spectrum of areas and the program reflects this fact. These areas include
supply chain management,
project management,
plant layout,
operations management,
material handling, and
service engineering. To facilitate research in these areas, the program offers a broad theoretical background in problem-solving tools.
MBA The Faculty of Data and Decision Sciences offers a
Master of Business Administration (
MBA) program.
ME The Faculty of Data and Decision Sciences offers MASTER in Engineering (ME) in which students can specialize in various areas of study.
