Industrial Engineering applies scientific and mathematical principles to solve real-world problems related to improving productivity and cost effectiveness. Industrial Engineers work to design integrated systems involving people, materials, equipment and energy. Some key areas Industrial Engineers work in include operations research, quality control, human factors, facilities planning, engineering management, and simulation. The field has grown significantly and there is expected to be strong job growth and opportunities for Industrial Engineers over the next decade.

2. What is an Engineer? Engineers apply mathematical and scientific principals to solve real-world problems.

3. What is an Industrial Engineer? According to ABET: …the profession in which a knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences gained by study, experience and practice is applied with judgment to develop ways to utilize economically, the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind.

4. What is an Industrial Engineer? According to IIE: …concerned with the design, improvement and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, equipment and energy. It draws upon specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical, physical and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems.

32. Systems Engineering What Do Systems Engineers Do? “Systems engineering is concerned with the overall process of defining, developing, operating, maintaining, and ultimately replacing quality systems. Where other engineering disciplines concentrate on the details of individual aspects of a system (electronics, mechanics, ergonometrics, aerodynamics, software, etc.), systems engineering is concerned with the integration of all of these aspects into a coherent and effective system. … The systems engineer is the primary interface between management, customers, suppliers, and specialty engineers in the systems development process. “ -International Council On Systems Engineering (INCOSE.org)
