    Frequently Asked Questions about Industrial Engineering

    Industrial engineering is a discipline that combines industrial manufacturing and systems engineering concepts to help integrate systems with materials, people, equipment, information, and energy. Industrial engineering combines theories and principles of physics, social sciences, and mathematical sciences along with analysis and design concepts of engineering and manufacturing to come up with predictions about such systems. Industrial engineering provides improved efficiency for companies in developing new products, helps companies produce more products quickly, and helps companies reduce costs with new technologies. Industrial engineering gives engineers an education in both engineering and business and the opportunity to work in a wide range of businesses.‎

    Learning industrial engineering can be a big bonus for someone interested in project management, project planning, procurement, and project risk management. You can take this knowledge and apply it to work-related processes like shortening work assembly times, streamlining manufacturing environments, and speeding up the delivery of products. Once you are adept in these areas, the core aspects of industrial engineering come more naturally in business processes.‎

    Being an industrial engineer means you can work in careers like industrial engineering, systems analysis, manufacturing specialist, product engineer, and similar roles. There's a wide range of careers available for industrial engineers, as they combine the best of business and engineering, and productivity and quality improvement, into combined roles. Industrial engineering includes not only manufacturing careers, but also careers in service industries, healthcare, shipping and logistics business, technology, and more.‎

    Taking online courses about industrial engineering can help you learn about the ways that engineers can apply their skills and talents in different industries. For example, you may learn industrial engineering from courses that focus on systems engineering, process engineering, or biomedical engineering in the automobile industry, the aeronautics industry, or the technology/IT industry.‎

    Online Industrial Engineering courses offer a convenient and flexible way to enhance your knowledge or learn new Industrial Engineering skills. Choose from a wide range of Industrial Engineering courses offered by top universities and industry leaders tailored to various skill levels.‎

    When looking to enhance your workforce's skills in Industrial Engineering, it's crucial to select a course that aligns with their current abilities and learning objectives. Our Skills Dashboard is an invaluable tool for identifying skill gaps and choosing the most appropriate course for effective upskilling.
