What Is Industrial Engineering?

Insights from IEs working in different jobs in different industries.

The inside scoop

Involves mathematical analysis and optimization◦ Finding the best arrangement of routes for an

airline or delivery organization◦ Figuring out how to get all the thousands of

supplies to a manufacturing plant or army with the least cost

Operations Research

Industrial Engineers are often in charge of laying out or redesigning manufacturing lines and designing manufacturing processes◦ Where should the next factory be built?◦ How can an assembly line be reconfigured to

account for the next product model?

Manufacturing

Industrial Engineers learn how to analyze the flow of information, materials and people through a system to improve performance◦ Analyze how the paperwork flow for a

government program can be improved◦ Model the flow of people through an emergency

room to improve safety and performance.

Systems/Process Engineering

Industrial Engineers study how people think, move and respond to input in order to design systems that work well.◦ Ergonomics is the study of people physical

capabilities◦ Human Factors emphasizes mental capabilities◦ Human-Systems Design is the study of how

people interact with mechanical and computer systems.

Human Factors

Industrial Engineers know how to use statistical sampling to analyze the quality of a product◦ Many companies employee IE’s to

measure and track their final products

◦ The trend is to improve quality by improving the design and manufacturing process, rather than fixing problems at the end.

Process and Quality Control

Industrial Engineers specialize in looking at the broader picture to find the root cause of problems.

They often are put in direct charge of managing and directing changes that directly affect worker’s lives.

They understand how to integrate people into designs.

What Type of Classes Do IEs Take?

Project-intensive Lots of reading Less emphasis on obscure mathematics,

more emphasis on applications Tends towards a business focus

What is Different About IE Courses?

Friendly, outgoing Wide interests Often involved in extra-

curricular activities Like to work in teams Have a broad, engaged

worldview Love learning new things
