The Industrial Engineer is involved in designing or
improving major systems that encompass the total
organization, whether in the governmental or private
sectors, or in the manufacturing or service
industries. Consequently, an Industrial Engineer is
often in contact with individuals from many segments
of the organization. With their education and
experience, Industrial Engineers develop a global
view of many inter-related operations necessary to
deliver a firm's goods and services. Because of their
management skills and global view of the
organization, a large proportion of Industrial
Engineers move into management positions, later
advancing to top management positions, or to own
and operate their own businesses.
