Versión en español de este video: • ¿Qué es la ingeniería ...
Industrial engineering focuses on improving processes. Industrial engineers analyze and optimize systems such as waiting in line at a theme park, boarding an airplane, helping people at a bank, answering calls at a call center, as well as manufacturing processes such as making airplane parts, car parts, household appliances, food, soda, bottled water, and so on. Industrial engineers will have to take a wide range of support classes such as calculus, physics, chemistry, circuits, and materials engineering. Although the most important support class that an industrial engineer will take is statistics. Statistics is crucial because in the real world processes, such as time it takes to help a customer in line, often can follow some kind of distribution, (which can't be represented by an equation as easily). Overall industrial engineering is great if you enjoy statistics, working with people, and optimizing profits and time for companies.

I strive every day to make things more effecient and get things done faster than the day before. I analyze everything and judge their efficiency. And what’s more freaky is that I’m a Disney freak and I was facinated with how incredibly efficient Disney World was. I could of just sat there and studied the Disney lines all day!

[@stephanginther9051]

My university has a great industrial engineering program (Montana State University), I'm mechanical engineering myself. IE's are fairly often our bosses. Now here, IE's _do_ study some engineering design, just not very much. They basically learn just enough so they speak engineer. They can tell us in our own lingo how to make our machines more efficient. They gave a few good examples in the video, but mechanical and electrical engineers are famously bad communicators, and IE's are often people that have enough tech background to understand our prattling and see the value in it, but at the same time they can _explain_ our prattling to non-engineers in simple English. Something a lot of us find strangely difficult.

[@mfehder206]

[@humanspider9421]

lol i want to pursue masters in IE

[@krishalgupta8616]

Then which would be better to pursue IE or ME?

[@stephanginther9051]

​@@krishalgupta8616 Well, both are great career paths and with a little extra training, both IE's and ME's can work in almost any industry. The ME path has harder math, physics, etc. Mechanics, the physics discipline, is basically the technical term for classical physics. Unless you specialize in micro-mechanical engineering you won't study things like relativity or quantum mechanics, but you study engines, boilers, mechanical things like bearings, cranks and such. As an ME you can design car parts, airplane parts, cooling systems, you name it. IE's are experts in efficiency, you wouldn't design the machines themselves like an ME or EE, but you might give the ME's or EE's rules to follow, like, 'make it this shape so it can be attached to this other machine'. While you wouldn't study quite as much math and physics as an ME, you would have to study management, economics, marketing, and a fair amount of law. Yes, law, as the person who would be asked to design the layout of a factory, you need to know things like, what are the laws on fire exits, will we be using processes that require hardhats, hearing and/or eye protection? You need to know OSHA standards like the back of your hand. One other benefit of being an IE is you are more likely to be the boss of your team. ME's are promoted to management sometimes but you are specifically trained to manage engineers and engineering projects. Both paths are difficult, but ultimately would you rather design the machines themselves or what is done with those machines afterwards. Would you rather design gadgets and robots or processes, and how those gadgets and robots are used. Look up videos on both, both paths can be exciting and its up to you in the end.

[@jay21mphepya73]

As much as I've heard how IE's make systems more efficient, I just like the fact of how diversely they can fit into any industry. This is a very interesting ability because it makes one wonder exactly what the world would be if people weren't making things more efficient. In the health and safety sectors, we would experience more deaths due to delayed responses from ambulances and emergency services. There is room for improvement, but all in all, Industrial Engineering is responsible for everyday life.

[@ilikechocolate3741]

Hi, I'm on my third year now, and when someone asks me what does an industrisl engineer, I don't know what to answer lol

[@emrebilgi]

I just want to add that we don't merely analyse a process and simply say let's do this and that to improve it. While this video is useful simplifying things to get a basic idea, most real life systems are too big and complicated to do that. So we usually use IE techniques like Operations Research (which is developing and solving deterministic and probabilistic mathematical models to represent a system to reach an optimal solution for the plant or organization), Production Planning And Inventory Control (including different sub-techniques like ERP, MRP, DRP to figure out what, how, when, how many to produce from all of the parts at with which equipment on what machine), Work Study (to find out ways to produce more with less cost and same quality) and Simulation (used to figure out faults in a process to later work on to improve them).

[@omurortaovali3851]

Emre Bilge and that’s pretty much what we mostly do in our every day business lives. I agree on the fact that most problems are way more complicated than controlling a single parameter. Systematic approach and OR help a lot though.

[@renfreundt]
