| Industrial Engineering | ||
| Industrial Engineers work with mathematics and science, people and money to get a product or a service delivered at the highest quality and at the most economical cost. | ||
| Industrial Engineers solve problems that include designing manufacturing systems, management systems, determining financial returns on projects, enhancing the work environment, and even how to better operate hospitals. This broad range of problem solving abilities makes Industrial Engineers highly sought after people in the business world. What sets industrial engineering apart from other engineering disciplines is its broader scope. An IE deals with people as well as things. An IE relates to the total picture of productivity improvement. | ||
| An IE may be employed in almost any type of industry, business or institution, from retail establishments to manufacturing plants to government offices to hospitals. An IE 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. An IE 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 used. Industrial Engineers put it all together - the problem, the materials, the equipment, and the ways to utilize it. The demand for IE's has grown dramatically over the past two decades for one primary reason: the need for organizations to raise their levels of productivity through thoughtful, systematic applications. | ||
| Industrial Engineering students at The University of Toledo solve real world problems in real world surroundings and develop solid solutions in both undergraduate and graduate programs. They have gone on to rewarding, challenging and exciting careers in this field. Many have elected to return for graduate level work in a particular specialty they may have. | ||
