Industrial Engineering (IE) is all about choices
- it is the engineering discipline that offers the
most wide-ranging array of opportunities in terms
of employment, and it is distinguished by its flexibility.
While other engineering disciplines tend to apply
skills to very specific areas, Industrial Engineers
may be found working everywhere: from traditional
manufacturing companies to airlines, from distribution
companies to financial institutions, from major medical
establishments to consulting companies, from high-tech
corporations to companies in the food industry.
Industrial Engineering is the only engineering discipline
with close links to management - many Industrial Engineers
(IE's) move on to successful careers in management.
Also, if you think that one day you will start and
run your own company, an Industrial Engineering program
will provide you with the best training for this -
regardless of what the company will actually do!
