The industrial engineering Specialization is considered one of the important Specializations in engineering, and the industrial engineering program at Almaarefa University has been designed to offer a modern, high-quality program that provides students with the necessary knowledge and skills in physics and mathematics, and the use of computers to develop their abilities, and apply them effectively in engineering majors in general, and in Specialization in industrial engineering in particular. The graduate of the Industrial Engineering program obtains an excellent background in scientific and technical foundations, integrated knowledge and skills in the field of applied sciences including engineering sciences, industrial engineering and responsibilities associated with production systems (manufacturing and services). The program provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary for the four main areas of specialization: manufacturing systems engineering; industrial process systems engineering; human factors engineering; and quality, safety, and maintenance systems engineering.

The graduate of the Industrial Engineering program at the Faculty will be qualified to work in general and factory engineering jobs as an industrial engineer. These jobs include sub-specializations of industrial engineering (process engineer, manufacturing engineer, safety engineer, quality engineer, maintenance engineer, production engineer, cost engineer, project engineer). The field of work of an industrial engineer includes the fields of research and development, design of systems and equipment, safety and maintenance, operation, quality, and other fields related to industrial engineering. The graduate of the program can also continue higher education after the bachelor’s degree.

The program's study plan includes a number of methodological courses distributed over five academic years, including a year of general preparation. In order to obtain a science degree in industrial engineering, the student must successfully complete 165 credit hours of study (five academic years). The program begins with the general preparation year (first year: level 1 and level 2), which contains an intensive English language program that enhances students’ English language skills, in addition to other knowledge and skills in general and basic sciences such as mathematics and computer skills, chemistry and physics, Islamic studies and Arabic language skills. The next four years (levels 3-10) include Faculty and specialization requirements, and include compulsory hours for all engineering departments, specialized core courses for industrial engineering, a graduation project, and practical summer training. Together, these courses give the student a strong background in the core topics of industrial engineering.
