Industrial Engineering

Industrial engineers determine the most effective
ways to use the basic factors of production - people, machines, materials, information, and energy - to make a product or to provide or serve.  They are most concerned with increasing productivity through the management of people, methods of business organization, and technology than are engineers in other specialties.  Although most industrial engineers work in manufacturing industries, they may also work in consulting services, healthcare, and communications.
