Industrial engineers determine the most effective ways for an organization to use the basic factors of production people, machines, materials, information, and energy to make or process a product. Industrial engineers plan, design, implement, and manage integrated production and service delivery systems that assure performance, reliability, maintainability, schedule adherence, and cost control. Industrial engineering, perhaps more than any other engineering discipline, is involved with the human and organizational aspects of developing the desired system. Traditionally, industrial engineers have been involved in facilities and plant design, plant management, quality control, human factors engineering, and production engineering.

Job oriented specialization are offered.

Bachelor degree, Post graduation, Ph.D

Sixty percent of industrial engineers are employed by manufacturing companies, but industrial engineers can be found in every kind of organization including banks, hospitals, finance, agriculture, public utilities, wholesale and retail trade, transportation, construction, and government. Industrial engineering has been strongly impacted by recent changes such as advances in computer technology, automation of manufacturing systems, developments in artificial intelligence and data base systems, the revolution in management practices as reflected by the "quality movement," and the increased emphasis on strategic planning.

To be specific industrial engineers get employed in Industries concern with plant efficiency and quality control. Instrumentation/production Engineers Involves in designing, constructing and maintenance of instruments. Government, Public and private sector having user industries, Instrumental Manufacturing Industries and Industrial Automation Industries. They can engage in construction and maintenance of sailing vessels.
