What is Industrial Engineering

To be an engineering one must inherit innovation because without innovation, there is no desire to change,
improve, and develop ideas and concepts to better society. Engineering is the branch of science and
technology concerned with the design, building, and use of engines, machines, and structures. Engineering
covers many topics because it’s such a broad term for so many great concepts. Within Engineering we have
several branches and one of those branches are Industrial Engineering.

Industrial Engineering is engineering that deals with the design, improvement, and installation of integrated
systems (as of people, materials, and energy) in industry. Working to eliminate waste of time, money, men
hours, energy, and many other forms of waste are all involved in Industrial Engineering. Being the branch of
engineering that focuses on the system of things, Industrial Engineering can be found in basically any field.
Just like many other Engineering courses, they’re typically the same- for Industrial Engineering you’ll need
a Bachelor’s degree in which cover topics in general engineering, physics, economics, production design,
and manufacturing. We must not forget….math, a lot of math.

Industrial Engineering is intertwine with several other forms of Engineering, due to this- the various
disciplines consist of but are not limited to operations research, systems engineering, manufacturing
engineering, production engineering, management, science, management engineering, financial
engineering… the list goes on. Industrial Engineering aren’t restricted to simply focusing on the
characteristics of the machine so in turn, we do work consisting of production management to improve the
efficiency of various systems and we also focus on decreasing the waste of various processes.

This makes Industrial Engineering a very important field because we primarily focus on waste management.
This field can help improve the speed of productivity while decreasing wasted time and decrease light,
water, air, and so many other forms of pollution. The careers for Industrial Engineers include Quality
Control Inspectors, Logisticians, Industrial Engineering Technicians, Industrial Production Management,
Management Analysts… the list is continuous.
