 Program Introduction:
The School of Engineering and Technology (SET) of AIT in collaboration with AIT Center in Vietnam (AITCV) offer AIT Master Program in the field of Industrial Engineering & Management (IME) for Vietnamese engineers/managers who are working in various manufacturing plants and supply chain networks. This field of study prepares students for management and decision support positions in manufacturing and service industries as well as public sectors by equipping them with a broad range of decision making skills for variety of applications. Since its inception in the early 1970, the Industrial Engineering Program at AIT has committed to prepare qualified engineers with high-tech knowledge to support sustainable industrial development of the region. Starting as Systems Engineering in the early days and becoming Industrial Engineering & Management today, our focus has always been on responding to the current needs and future trends for industry to be competitive, and we have achieved it by providing a high quality graduate education program with emphasis on: AIT Regular Master The AIT regular master program lasts for 4 semesters. In the first stage, students will study 2 semesters at AIT center in Ho Chi Minh City. They will take basic courses and advanced courses selected in consultation with an academic/thesis advisor from among the regular courses offered at AIT. During the second stage, students will study two semesters in AIT, Bangkok, Thailand. They will carry out their thesis study.
