Students from the Engineering Systems and Management program visited Ittihad Paper Mill (IPM) on Thursday, Nov. 5th, for an enriching industrial experience focused on cutting-edge technologies and innovative practices in Quality Control (QC), Quality Assurance (QA), and Total Quality Management (TQM).
The visit provided students with valuable exposure to the advanced automated systems and sophisticated quality management practices implemented at IPM. Through insightful discussions and direct observations, students gained a deeper understanding of how modern manufacturing facilities integrate technology, process optimization, and continuous improvement to maintain high standards of product quality and operational excellence.
Beyond broadening their perspectives on the latest quality management practices, the visit also introduced an exciting hands-on research project. Students will have the opportunity to apply and evaluate the quality assessment methodologies taught in their academic program by comparing their effectiveness with the advanced, high-cost automated systems employed at IPM. This initiative aims to explore the potential of practical, cost-effective approaches to quality assessment while strengthening students’ analytical, problem-solving, and research capabilities.
The visit represents a valuable step toward bridging academic knowledge and industrial applications, reinforcing the program’s commitment to experiential learning, industry collaboration, and the preparation of future engineers to address real-world technological and operational challenges.
The Engineering Systems and Management program extends its sincere appreciation to Ittihad Paper Mill and its dedicated team for their warm hospitality, valuable insights, and generous support in facilitating this meaningful educational and research experience.
