But what do IE ’ s do? Industrial Engineers apply engineering and mathematical principles to design and manage the systems made of people, computers, machines, materials, information, and energy in order to produce the goods and services critical to the economy. Effective, Safe and Efficient
Sales of the Toyota Prius nearly tripled from 2004 to 2005 IE Ergonomists chose tools and designed workplaces to prevent workers from becoming injured IE Manufacturing Engineers designed and managed the production lines which put all of the parts together
Apple sold over 6.5 Million iPods during 3 months of 2005 IEs specializing in human- system interface design made sure that they were easy to use
United Airlines flies travelers all over the world Industrial Engineers serve as Operations Analysts to insure that flight schedules, aircraft assignments, and routes are designed optimally
The GAP operates more than 4000 stores worldwide Industrial engineers specializing in inventory control make sure enough boot-cut jeans are manufactured and delivered to the right stores
Is IE for you? Do you want to Design better ways to get things done? Use computers & software to solve engineering problems? Use math to describe and analyze systems of people, machines, and information? Improve and manage those systems? Design the interaction between people and systems? Work in a wide variety of environments, from consulting to government to health care to manufacturing to transportation?
