DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL AND MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING

BACHELOR OF TECHNOLOGY HONOURS DEGREE IN INDUSTRIAL AND

MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING (4 YEARS)

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The programme is designed to provide a broadly based education in the principle and
practice of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering at Honours Degree level. The
primary aim of the programme is to produce graduates of high calibre who possess
thorough knowledge of scientific principles and engineering practice and an appreciation
of industrial and business environment in which the professional engineer works.

An Industrial and Manufacturing Engineer is capable of improving a company’s overall

productivity by designing, installing, operating and maintaining integrated systems of
people, equipment, material, information and energy.

1.1 INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING

The curriculum provides education in each of the basic functional areas of industrial
engineering: that is engineering management, ergonomics, systems engineering, and
operations research. Students are individually advised and counselled to choose electives
to broaden their education and to emphasize subjects of interest.

Courses are available in systems simulation, operations research, industrial management,

ergonomics and safety, manufacturing information systems, quality assurance, project
evaluation, automated factory concepts, product and process engineering, computer
control of manufacturing equipment, advanced manufacturing technologies, robotics and
design and analysis of manufacturing systems. The curriculum is augmented by an
industrial engineering assembly held once each semester in which engineers from
industry are invited to speak about topics of current interest to the profession.

1.2 MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING

Manufacturing engineering is a discipline which focuses on the process of conversion of
raw materials to finished products. Graduates of this program have a strong background
in the use of computers in integrating phases of a manufacturing enterprise.
Manufacturing subjects covered in the curriculum include: computer aided
manufacturing, engineering materials, ergonomics, facilities layout and design, industrial
simulation, manufacturing processes, manufacturing information systems, product and
process engineering, and statistical process control. The program culminates with a team
project to design and implement a working manufacturing system to mass-produce a
product.

9.3 HIT 200 – PROJECT

HIT 200 is a course intended to introduce students to the basics of team design projects.
The students work either on a topic of their choice or an assigned one in groups of four to
five students. The students work as a team under the supervision of an academic member.
The students are expected to do literature review, design analysis and finally produce a
prototype on the chosen design topic. HIT 200 is a two semester project and students
produce a prototype in addition to the project report.

Assessment Procedure:

The course will be taken over a period of two semesters and will be examined by oral and
written presentation of the project at the end of the second semester. Continuous
assessment will involve three reports as follows:

 Concept Development and Evaluation

 Model Development and Evaluation
 Final Report

The final report will include the two previous reports, plus a report on evaluation of the
final model. The requirements and grading criteria for each report will be distributed to
the students in advance.

Oral Presentation:

Each member of the team project will participate in the oral presentation of the
product/process development project. The total oral presentation for a team shall not be
less than 15 minutes with additional 10 minutes for answering questions and discussion.
The presentation will be evaluated on the following basis:
 Organisation- systematic, logical and integrate
 Clarity- easy to follow and understand
 Presentation skills- good voice projection and eye contact, comfortable and good
results
 Visual aids- readable, understandable and pertinent
 Conclusions- defensible and rationale provided

submit an arrival form to the department and the department will agree on the training
programme with the company where the student is attached.
All daily activities will be recorded in the logbook. Students are expected to submit an
interim report 15 weeks from the commencement date

N.B: it is assumed that students enrolled on the parallel programme are already working
in the industrial and manufacturing industry and will be assessed at their work places
following the same guidelines and regulations as regards to conduct and assessment.
