Question

Or if you are studing it now. How changed it your life, what is the most interesting thing you have learned? Or simply you can comment some fact to seems to you interesting to share about this engineering.

Answer 1

Industrial engineering is commonly referred to "imaginary engineering" in college engineering departments because of IE's lack of content.

Industrial engineering forgoes the essentials of mechanical or manufacturing engineering, and instead focuses more on business issues. Design and modeling is gives way to inventory forecasting and control. System integration and productivity yields to supply chain issues.

In short, those of us who suffered through real engineering had no respect for the industrial engineering clowns. There was an assumed hierarchy of engineering, and for the students that couldn't hack engineering, industrial (imaginary) engineering was the lowest rung before dropping to a finance major.
