Industrial engineers find best-fit solutions between people, machines, materials, and information technology to improve production. Their goal is to make things faster and better as well as more efficiently, safely, and economically.
Industrial engineering involves a combination of engineering and management science to develop and improve such things as products, services, processes, facilities, information systems, work methods and performance standards, human resources planning, production planning and control, financial and cost systems, and distribution.
As a graduate, you will find employment opportunities in planning, production, operations research, product development, systems design, information systems, plant management, logistics, procedures planning, motion study, ergonomics, and performance measurement and standards. Industrial engineers work in just about every industry and sector, including transportation, financial services, government, manufacturing, distribution, health care, financial service, retailing, and consulting.
