As an Industrial Engineer at Universidad Icesi you will be able to work in companies dedicated to the manufacture of products and/or services. During your undergraduate program, you will study subjects that will provide you with knowledge about the activities that are performed in the different areas of a public or private company. In addition, you will have the necessary skills to select and use the appropriate technology according to the area in which you will work. In this way, you could be a professional dedicated to:
Educational objectives of the program
PROBLEM SOLVING: Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying the principles of science, mathematics, and engineering.
ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS DESIGN: Design solutions that meet specific needs and established requirements, considering public health, safety, and welfare of people, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
COMMUNICATION: Communicate effectively with multiple audiences orally and in writing, including Spanish and English.
ETHICS, SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND IMPACT OF ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS: Recognize their ethical and professional responsibilities as engineers, and make informed judgments considering the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental and social contexts.
TEAMWORK AND LEADERSHIP: Function effectively in a team, whose members collectively provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, set goals, plan tasks, and accomplish objectives.
EXPERIMENTATION: Develop and conduct experiments, as well as analyze and interpret data to generate conclusions from judgments based on engineering principles.
LIFELONG SELF-LEARNING: Learn and apply new knowledge as needed, autonomously and using appropriate learning strategies.
Every semester, the Industrial Engineering program of Universidad Icesi organizes an event in which students interact and explore key topics, selected according to their impact on the industrial context of the region and the country. The organization of this academic meeting, recognized as the University Meeting of Industrial Engineers - EUDII, is assigned to the seventh semester students of the academic program who are studying Project Management.
The EUDII is an academic event where students organizers develop teamwork, planning and project development skills. In the same way, they link the academic and business community of the region in a space of knowledge in which important national and international guests meet to show the business reality in the global context.
The 42th edition of EUDII was held on April 28,2022

The Industrial Engineer should be a person interested in knowing how things are manufactured, how they are transported from the point of manufacture to the final customer, how services work and what improvements could be implemented in these. Likewise, he/she should be interested in knowing how companies work, how they are organized and, above all, how they coordinate and manage the resources necessary to achieve their objectives, giving back to society.
The future Industrial Engineer should feel an interest in being a catalyst who is able to use many of his skills so that the processes always work in the best way.
The Industrial Engineer of Universidad Icesi is trained to face the challenges of the productive and service sectors relying on their abilities to analyze and solve problems, conceive and design systems and operate them. These capabilities allow him to model, analyze, evaluate and integrate technology to systems and processes, as well as the generation of alternatives for continuous improvement to achieve the best use of resources.
He/she will have the ability to be an active participant in a multidisciplinary team whose objective is the conception and development of innovative strategies that guarantee the efficient sustainability of the organization where he/she is located, due to his/her effective communication, systemic thinking and leadership skills.
In this space you will find information on the total number of students enrolled each semester in the Industrial Engineering program, as well as the number of graduates for the last five years.
The Industrial Engineering program offers its students different alternatives to live an international experience. We count with 36 international partnerships with universities in other countries where students can take academic semesters or language courses through bilateral or visiting student agreements, which guarantee them benefits and facilities. We offer them the opportunity to obtain double degrees with Management programs offered by La Rochelle Business School, Montpellier Business School and ESC Clermont in France.
In addition, they can participate in the academic missions offered annually, a great experience that involves direct contact with the industrial, logistical and technological environment of the country or region visited. Students have the opportunity to meet large companies from other parts of the world and to complement what they have learned in the classroom with a real industry experience.
