Industrial Engineering
Industrial Engineering is concerned with system design and operation. All systems must relate to people, equipment, and materials. These resources are valuable and should be used efficiently. Industrial engineers analyze and design systems to ensure efficiency, quality, safety, and economic feasiblity. To enable the integration of such complex systems, industrial engineers are trained in areas beyond those taught in other engineering disciplines. These areas include: economics of the system, human interface and mangement of the system, and planning and control of operations.
