About the Presentation
Industrial engineering is about choices. Other engineering disciplines apply skills to very specific areas. IE offers the best of both worlds: an education in both engineering and business. It’s about manufacturing, but also encompasses service industries, with many IEs employed in entertainment industries, shipping and logistics businesses, and healthcare organizations. Industrial engineers are the only engineering professionals trained specifically to be productivity and quality improvement specialists. Come hear more about what doors industrial engineering can open for you!
