Industrial Engineering is concerned with the design, improvement and installation of integrated system of people, materials, information, equipment, energy, capital and managerial know-how into a system that will deliver high quality, less expensive product or service faster..
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.
In a way, you might think of industrial engineers as the people who look after the health of organizations. They are responsible for the quality of the finished product, the efficiency and productivity of the operation, and the safety and morale of the employees. Most of all, industrial engineers are responsible for change – improving the effectiveness, and the competitiveness, of the organization. The Industrial Engineering (IE) major includes the following fields of study:
§ Manufacturing Systems Engineering
Apply modern manufacturing technologies to ensure the best economic manufacture of a product. Topics include manufacturing processes, automation, robotics, lean manufacturing, ergonomics and occupational safety and health.
§ Engineering Service Systems
Develop quantitative methods in order to help managers make better decisions. Topics include engineering economy, quality control, scheduling, inventory, computer simulation models, customer satisfaction and product design and usability.
§ Engineering Information Systems
Consider the physical and mental design of information technology systems required to develop applications in Industrial Engineering. Topics include enterprise information modeling, analysis of data bases, data mining, internet technologies and human-computer interfaces.
