The College of Engineering is the largest engineering college in the UAE.
It offers a range of engineering and technology programs at undergraduate and postgraduate level, with new and innovative programs being introduced on an ongoing basis.
Become a Bachelor of Industrial Engineering – this is a field concerned with the optimization of complex processes, systems, or organizations. This is done through the development, improvement and implementation of integrated systems of people, money, materials, equipment, and energy. It is an engineering approach to the detailed analysis of the use and cost of these resources.

About the program
Industrial Engineering is concerned with the optimization of complex processes, systems, or organizations. This is done through the development, improvement and implementation of integrated systems of people, money, materials, equipment, and energy. It is an engineering approach to the detailed analysis of the use and cost of these resources. Industrial Engineers play a pivotal role in increasing productivity and profit, improving quality, and streamlining operations. They work on methods for improving the operations and controlling production costs, improving the quality of products and services, ensuring worker health and safety, protecting the environment, and complying with government regulations.
The program combines natural sciences, mathematics, computing, social sciences, and management with mechanical engineering and design. You will study state-of-the-art courses in 3D Printing/Additive Manufacturing, Facilities Planning & Asset Management, Project & Supply Chain Management, Entrepreneurship, and Environmental & Safety Engineering. The first two years of the Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering program are identical to the BSc in Mechanical Engineering, which means you can change between the two programs without losing credit.
With an emphasis on the role of Industrial engineering in the service industries prevalent in the Abu Dhabi economy, quality systems, and operations research and optimization, the program supports Abu Dhabi’s journey towards a less oil-dependent economy.
In addition to specialized industrial engineering laboratories, the program benefits from state-of-the-art mechanical engineering facilities including a machine shop, manufacturing CAD/CAM laboratory, control & mechatronics laboratory, thermo-fluids laboratory, metal cooling facility laboratory, and condition-based monitoring laboratory.
Students can register on the BSc in Mechanical Engineering in Al Ain for the first two years of the program as these are identical to the first two years of the BSc in Industrial Engineering. They will then be transferred to the BSc in Industrial Engineering at the Abu Dhabi campus for the last two years of the program. It is a 2 + 2 program.
Program Educational Objectives
The objectives of the program are to produce Industrial Engineers who will be able to:
- Demonstrate success in the industrial engineering field with a good set of technical, problem solving, and leadership accomplishments.
- Participate in life-long learning activities such as training, continuing education, or graduate studies.
- Contribute to the development and growth of local and global communities and uphold ethical, social, and professional responsibilities.
Student Outcomes
The following learning outcomes describe the competencies and skills that Abu Dhabi University Industrial Engineering students will acquire by graduation:
- An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
- An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs considering social, environmental, and economic factors
- An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
- An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
- An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
- An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
Within the UAE, graduates of the program can expect to find employment in organizations including Schlumberger, Siemens, Caterpillar, Honeywell, Elliot group, ADCO, ADDC, AECOM, Al Jaber Group, Musanada, and Worley Parsons.

Tuition fees structure & calculation
Tuition is based upon the College and/or Department classification as opposed to the course classification or level. Tuition rates for undergraduate students vary from the tuition rates for graduate students.
The tuition fee calculations are an example only and are based on the assumption that elective courses will be taken with the College that the student is taking their major with. However, if the student selects elective courses outside of this College, the total cost payable may increase or decrease to reflect the tuition rate of the College where the elective is delivered.
Costs of books and supplies are not included in the Tuition and Fees. Students at Abu Dhabi University are also required to pay certain fees and other costs to attend the University. Abu Dhabi University reserves the right to change tuition and fee rates at any time. A tuition schedule is published prior to registration for each semester.
