"I worked here for 2 years in Industrial Engineering Department. The work environment is really great. Being a very small department, the faculty members treated the students like family, and do their best to help in academics and in career development. The quality of research work produced in analytical field is great. But the lab facilities should be improved. I would recommend this school and this department to all."
