Industrial Engineering majors learn: basic electrical technology, basic mechanical design (or some type of engineering design such as electronics, metallurgy, etc.), operations research, introduction to systems engineering, management, marketing, accounting and financial management, and management information systems.
The discipline of industrial engineering is dedicated to solving systems problems related to efficiency, quality, cost, and safety. The challenges facing contemporary society are often complex systems problems, such as managing global production networks, building efficient health care delivery systems, constructing transportation facilities and operational networks, and creating safe and efficient energy supply systems.
Industrial Engineering Degree:
The Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering degree typically requires students to study the following after taking basic disciplines (natural sciences, humanities, and social sciences), mathematics (calculus, probability and statistics, differential equations, numerical analysis, etc.), and basic engineering disciplines (mechanics, mechanical engineering, computers, electrical engineering, etc.) .
