Industrial and Systems Engineering BEng

All of us are familiar with the MRT System here in Singapore. Perhaps one of your biggest gripes is that it is much too packed during peak hours. If you were commissioned to address this problem, how would you go about it Would you consider building the world s first double-decker train There are many factors to take into consideration here: the need to modify the train stations to accommodate this prototype; whether a two-storey train will entail any safety hazards; whether there is a need to retrain the Train Captains to operate this new model; whether this change should affect the passenger fares. As an Industrial and Systems Engineer, you will take into consideration every factor and run virtual simulations to determine this project s feasibility and practicality.In a nutshell, Industrial and Systems Engineering is about solving problems and optimising processes. You are taught technical skills, like applied mathematics and computer science, as well as the business mindset in approaching problems.
