Importance of a Degree in Industrial Engineering
Industrial engineers excel at analyzing the performance of complex systems in terms of efficiency, productivity, quality, and risk. They acquire essential knowledge about industrial designs and processes, human and organizational performance, and acquire skills in using techniques for systematically modeling and analysing these.
With developments in an Industry 4.0 context, where digitalization, automation, and connectedness lead to increased complexity of industrial systems, a degree in Industrial Engineering provides essential knowledge and skills in areas including operations research, data analytics, systems modeling and analysis, human and organizational factors, reliability engineering and risk management.
