The department was started in B.I.T. in 1986.Since then it has been catering to the needs of excellent managers in the production industry. It is now headed by Dr.M.C Jagath M.E. ,Ph.D. The teaching staff is well experienced in teaching and research, exposing the students to industrial environment, production and management.

Industrial Engineering is concerned with the design, improvement and installation of integrated system of men, material and equipment. It refers to that multi disciplinary function which encompasses various areas of Science, technology, economics, engineering and operations management that is used for achieving higher overall productivity and profitability leading to an economic uplift of society as a whole and the industry, business or services in particular. Keeping this broad perspective in mind, the highly expert faculty has ensured that the students churned out from this department are of the highest caliber. Thus, we at the industrial engineering & management department have resolved to keep our commitment to the present day management of technical industries.

The department of Industrial Engineering and Management of B.I.T. has a well equipped virtual NC lab, industrial engineering lab, production technology lab, measurement lab and gauging lab. A state of art computer labs with software like ERP, IGRIP and QUEST. This ensures that the students of the department get enough practical experience besides the theoretical concepts.

Curriculum:
The above mentioned skills are very purposefully transmitted in IEM engineers during the 4 year degree process.

Materials Science and Metallurgy Basic Manufacturing Processes Elements of Power Systems Theory of Machines Product Drawing Materials management Computer Integrated manufacturing Facilities Planning and Design Software Engineering & management Engineering Estimation and Costing Machine Tools Operation Elements of Machine Design Engineering Economics Engineering Metrology Industrial Engineering

Quality Assurance Operation Research Industrial Management Automation Supply Chain and Logistics Project Work-I Operations Management Management Information systems Financial Accounting and Management Human Resources Management Corporate Strategy and Planning Advanced Operations Research Project Management International Marketing Organizational Behavior

Laboratories:
CAD: The CAD laboratory is furnished with modern computers with software like C / C++, AUTOCAD etc.

CAM: This is the hardware section equipped with CNC milling CNC drilling machines table top robot etc.

Metrology Laboratory: With instruments like autocollimator, tool maker's microscope, UMM etc; the lab inculcates the measurement and calibration skills.

Machine Tools & Metal Cutting Laboratory: It has more than 20 lathes, shaping and planning, grinding machines and also HMT precision lathe and drilling machines for students to practice machining skills.

Manufacturing Laboratory: This lab is having jig boring, draw bench & HMT CNC machine to make students aware & practice advanced manufacturing concepts.

Industrial engineering Laboratory: It is equipped with projectors to view films on material handling recording techniques etc. The students put to use the rules of work study & ergonomics for developing appropriate methods, layout & designs.

Foundry & Welding Shop: It has equipment for melting, molding & casting of metals. The welding shop besides having the conventional welding equipment is now equipped with modern welding facilities.

RDBMS & SQL Laboratory: This lab is equipped with software like ORACLE, MS Access.

Simulation laboratory: This lab is furnished with latest software of ERP like IBCS, Makess, Promodel/Arena / Deneb Simulation packages etc.

Project Work:
Besides the above, engineers are necessarily exposed to the industrial environment during the 6th and 8th semester, for duration of 8 to 10 weeks. During this period they are made to undertake and enter into practical arenas of day to day industrial problems. Projects done by IEM students are:-
1. Human resource management in ITI
2. Work place design
3. Review of MIS in BEML
4. Production scheduling in engineering industry - a case study
5. Simulation of plant layout using QUEST
6. Formation of cells in plunger area of MICO plant
