 Industrial
engineering is concerned with the design of integrated systems involving
people, materials, information, equipment and energy, so that the
overall system functions efficiently and human needs are adequately
met. Industrial engineering is distinctive in two respects: the
industrial engineer typically works on problems or systems which
include human beings as a major variable; and the industrial engineer
is by definition a systems engineer, whose unique combination of
skills can be applied to many working environments.
Industrial engineers
have an almost unlimited range of career fields available, including
retail distribution, banking, health-care delivery, corporate management,
municipal management, aerospace systems, research groups and government
employment.
