Welcome to the Department of IPE

Industrial and Production Engineering is an engineering discipline that is greatly valued internationally. It has been contributing enormously to the improvement of productivity and operations as well as operating conditions of numerous organizations all over the world. In Bangladesh, the esteemed arena of Industrial and Production Engineering emanated from BUET in 1981 as a postgraduate program through the establishment of the department of IPE. In order to develop competent engineers with managerial capability for our industrial sectors, the department of IPE started enrolling 20 students at the undergraduate level in 1997. Later on, considering the growing demands of IPE graduates in different industrial sectors, the number of new students per batch was at first increased to 30 and then to 50 in the academic year 2017-18. Since the establishment, the department has been conducting vigorous researches emphasizing manufacturing engineering, production technology, establishing expert systems, development of machines and instruments from locally available resources, development of local industries, improvement of efficiency and productivity, elimination of waste, quality control management etc., making the study of IPE a successful amalgamation of engineering and management science.
