Industrial Engineering and Management, Master of Science (Technology)

Focus on proactive problem solving and learn to utilize your engineering mind-set in developing business!

Master’s Programme in Industrial Engineering and Management (IEM) educates engineers who can develop and lead businesses with an entrepreneurial mindset. The programme combines engineering with economic and human fundamentals to create value and efficiency. IEM studies explore the foundations of business and engineering processes, and inspire a systemic, solution-oriented engineering mindset to develop business.

The distinctive feature of IEM at Aalto University is its focus on strategic and entrepreneurial leadership in business development, complementing the approaches of classical industrial engineering on developing processes and complex systems. This combination emphasizes the focus on the capability to solve the right problems right, i.e. identify needs, define problems accordingly, and solve them effectively.
