Industrial
and Systems Engineering
curriculum is unique
among engineering disciplines in it breadth of coverage. In most
branches of engineering, the system studies are composed of
predominantly physical elements. In Industrial and Systems Engineering, the
system is composed of both human and physical elements.
An Industrial and
Systems Engineer
looks at the "big picture" of what makes society perform best
- the right combination of human resources, natural resources and
man-made structures and equipment.
He or she bridges the gap
between management and operations, dealing with and motivating people as
well as determining what tools should be used and how they should be
employed.
For prospective
students and employers, choosing a college major is an important
decision, and in making the right choice, the following should be
considered:
-
Is
the type of work involved in this career likely to be lively and
interesting?
-
Does
this career have good growth and promotion opportunities?
-
Will
I have any job flexibility, in terms of income or being able to work
in more than one type of job?
-
Is
this a profession that stays on top of breakthrough technologies
(such as computers, robotics, etc.)?
One career choice that answers each of
these questions with a big
"YES"
is
Industrial
and Systems Engineering
