About the Doctoral Program in Industrial and Systems Engineering
In today's world, engineering problems that gain priority and importance are those embedded within complex systems. Complex systems emerge as compositions of technical, social, environmental, and similar systems. Industrial and Systems Engineering is a discipline that focuses on the modeling, design, production, improvement, and control of complex production and service systems. The program aims to teach a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to finding solutions for these systems.
The Doctoral Program in Industrial and Systems Engineering offers advanced research and application opportunities in various fields. Postgraduate students in this program primarily focus their studies on optimization, transportation and logistics, probability theory, fuzzy logic, system dynamics, production planning and scheduling, supply chain management, health systems, and energy systems. Students in the Doctoral Program actively participate in various departmental projects and receive support from TÜBİTAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey).
