Industrial Engineering Fields of Study
Industrial engineering is the discipline of the engineering concerned with the design, imporvement and installation of integrated systems of people, material, information, equipment and energy. Industrial engineers use computers and sophisticated software as tools to solve compliccated problems to design, quantify, predict and evaluate the performance of all types of complex technologies and systems. The discipline of industrial engineering has a rich, ever increasing diversity of application. Today's industrial engineers are employed in almost any type of industry, more widely distributed and in greater demand among more industries than any other engineering discipline.
