Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering is a multi-disciplinary field that integrates exciting and diverse disciplines such as design, robotics, systems engineering, automation, mechatronics, sustainable engineering, manufacturing, operations management, etc.

The Department of Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering was first established in 1976 as the Department of Production Engineering. Up to now, over 1000 graduates have graduated with specialization in Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering.

Programme Outcomes

The Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering programme aims to provide graduates with the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes to be able to:

(1)   Apply knowledge of mathematics, natural science, computing and engineering fundamentals, and manufacturing and industrial engineering to develop solutions to
       complex engineering problems.

(2)   Identify, formulate, research literature and analyse complex engineering problems to reach substantiated conclusions with holistic considerations for sustainable
       development.

(3)   Design creative solutions for complex engineering problems and design systems, components or processes to meet identified needs with appropriate consideration for
       public health and safety, whole-life cost, net zero carbon as well as resource, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations as required.

(4)   Conduct investigations of complex engineering problems using research methods including research based knowledge, design of experiments, analysis and interpretation
       of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions.

(5)   Create, select and apply, and recognize limitations of appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modelling, to
      complex engineering problems.

(6)   Analyse and evaluate sustainable development impacts to society, the economy, sustainability, health and safety, legal frameworks, and the environment, when solving
       complex engineering problems.

(7)   Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and norms of engineering practice and adhere to relevant national and international laws. And demonstrate an
       understanding of the need for diversity and inclusion.

(8)   Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse and inclusive teams and in multi-disciplinary, face-to-face, remote and distributed settings.

(9)   Communicate effectively and inclusively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend
       and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, taking into account cultural, language, and learning differences.

(10)  Apply knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and economic decision-making and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader
       in a team, and to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments

(11)   Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability for
        a) independent and life-long learning
        b) adaptability to new and emerging technologies and
        c) critical thinking in the broadest context of technological change.

• Best Paper Award – Technology Management Track 02 Aug 2022
  
  

  
  
  
  The research papers titled ‘A study on how organisations perceive the synergy between Lean and Industry 4.0’ received the best research paper awards in the 'Technology Management’ track at the 8th International Moratuwa Engineering Research Conference (MERCon) held on the 28th July 2022. The paper was based on the final year research project by Chiran Kodippili and Rajeev Karunanayake under the supervision of Dr. Prasanna Illankoon who was formerly at the Department of Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering, University of Peradeniya.
  The two young authors consider this to be a great start to their academic and professional careers as the research spread across the scopes of both academia and the industry. While there were many who contributed, the authors specially acknowledge the support of MAS Holdings (Pvt) Ltd for their inputs. Going ahead, the authors hope to further develop the proposed Lean x Industry 4.0 framework into an industry ready mode.
