New PhD and Certificate programs
The Faculty is pleased to announce two new programs: a doctorate in industrial engineering and a certificate in science and technology. Both programs are accepting applications from potential candidates immediately.
For advising assistance, students should contact Student Academic Services at 514-848-2424, ext. 3055 or 3057.
PhD in Industrial Engineering
Industrial engineering involves the design, organization, implementation, and economic operations of integrated production and service systems using people, materials, and equipment. Industrial engineers are trained to provide the best productivity and quality of such systems.
Concordia’s new industrial engineering PhD program is one of only two currently offered in Quebec. It is thesis-oriented and provides students with solid fundamental and theoretical knowledge, as well as substantial research experience for innovative system design and problem solving in various research areas, including operations research and its applications, transportation systems, supply chain management, scheduling, stochastic optimization, quality control and reliability, Lean systems design, human factors and safety, production planning and inventory control, revenue management, and product design and development.
Certificate in Science and Technology
This is a non-degree program that caters to students who wish to prepare for admission to a degree program in engineering or computer science. It is not intended for students who wish to prepare for admission towards a science program.
The Certificate requires the successful completion of 30 credits. The grade in each course must be C or better for the course to count towards the Certificate. A GPA of 2.00 must be maintained to remain in the Certificate program.
Students enrolled in the Certificate program may request a transfer into a degree program in the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science after the completion of at least 18 credits with a minimum GPA of 2.50 in the Certificate program.
