Industrial engineering is concerned with the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, information, equipment, and energy. It draws upon specialized knowledge and skill in mathematics, physics, and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design, to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems. Industrial engineers determine how to optimize the system for maximum efficiency, effectiveness, throughput, safety, or some other objectives of interest to the stakeholders of the system. Industrial engineering enables students to perform technical, managerial, and consulting functions that require scientific and engineering backgrounds. Courses cover areas of human factors, manufacturing, facilities design, work analysis and design, operations research, process control, production and service systems management, as well as systems simulation. The curriculum is designed to prepare students for direct entry into the engineering profession as well as for graduate studies. Industrial engineers determine the most effective ways to use the basic factors of production, people, machines, materials, information, and energy, to make a product or provide a service. The most distinct aspect of industrial engineering is the flexibility it offers. Due to its broad perspective, industrial engineering is used in a wide variety of industries, including: manufacturing, health care, banking, insurance, transportation, construction, utilities, and government agencies.
