I am 2017 grad in industrial engineering. I have around 2 years SWE experience in WITCH company. How hard is to find IE job with this background and work experience?

Just recently hired as a industrial maintenance technician and I am looking for any advice on classes, certification or courses or college degrees. That would help me excel with this profession?

I am looking for a specific example to understand what ISE can do. I work at a warehouse. We build grocery orders. We pick/orderfill them. Load them on trailers. Transport them to stores. Basically a lot of supply chain works. In the process above, what is a good as specific as can be an ISE can do here?

I have been thinking of getting a degree and this ISE caught my eyes. Trying to figure out if this degree will help me in the supply chain business.

Thanks in advance.

I'm currently in a business program and I'm hoping to pursue a career that is more focused on desiging and manufacturing physical products. Given my current courses, I'm unable to transfer to Mechanical Engineering or Industrial Deisgn program.

Although Industrial Engineering mostly focuses on process and system design, is it still possible to get a job in design engineering with an industrial engineering degree if I'm able to develop skills through freelancing or supplemental courses?

Hi all, I want to know how to rank the following universities (Particular to industrial engineering)

1. GaTech
2. Purdue
3. Texas A&M
4. UW Madison
5. Virginia Tech
6. UTA
7. UTD
8. ASU

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

I'm a sophomore in Industrial and Systems Engineering, weighing the decision between graduating after my junior year or graduating after the fall semester of my senior year. Financially, my family is stable, so covering an extra semester isn't an issue, but they are open to the idea of saving a full year's tuition. Also, graduating in the middle of senior year would affect my housing situation, since I would have to move out halfway into a 10-month lease, which isn't ideal.

In terms of career experience, I have an internship in procurement lined up for this summer, which will be my first internship. I also hold leadership roles in a few clubs. If I graduate a year early, however, I'd only have this single internship on my resume, which makes me wonder if it’s enough experience.

The main benefits of early graduation would be saving money and time, entering the workforce sooner, and potentially reducing costs if I decide to pursue a Master's, though I'm currently undecided about grad school.

Does the ISE industry favor various experiences on a student's resume? Is graduating a year impressive to employers? Any thoughts on which option might be more beneficial?

Hi everyone,

I'm reaching out for advice because I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and lost in my current role. I’m a second-year master’s student, specializing in lean manufacturing. Currently, I’m in my second year as an industrial engineer at my company, where I am the sole industrial engineer. I am also expected to take on process engineering responsibilities.

I appreciate this opportunity, but I have minimal experience. I completed a co-op during college, which was unfortunately cut short by COVID. Since then, I've been navigating my role with little guidance and struggling to determine the best ways to make meaningful contributions.

With so many expectations on me, I sometimes feel like I’m swimming without a life vest. Has anyone else been in a similar position? I’d appreciate any advice on:

1.	Balancing roles in industrial and process engineering with limited experience
2.	Key resources or learning materials that helped you gain confidence in both industrial and process engineering
3.	How to advocate for mentorship or support in a small company
4.	General strategies for staying motivated and focused in an environment with limited guidance

Any help or advice would be so valuable. Thank you!

I would like to hear where do you work and *specific examples* of tasks you have to do at your job. When I try to research the profession all the descriptions are vague for someone who doesn't know the field. For example "Industrial engineers apply their technical training to make things work better, faster, and smarter". What are exactly the actions you do to make things better? How does the thought process go- how do you decide what actions to make to utilize a process? What programs and tools do you use? How exactly do you manage the supply chain? I would like to hear in details. Thank you

I remember making a post about acquiring an industrial engineering degree for my masters so fortunately, I got admitted but I do have some questions.

I have a background in petroleum engineering and did a internship in drilling engineering and supply chain. So which companies and what positions can I apply for starters ?

As I’ve been told, IEs don’t actually do too much designing and it’s a lot of excel/computer work with just paper pushing office politics. I love the idea of making a Disney line faster and just improving efficiency by looking at data and making tweaks to get to better results but it seems a vast majority of IEs don’t actually do that kind of work. On top of that the IEs that actually do that work don’t get paid nearly as much as higher management or IEs that just go into the business side of things. For me at the end of the day a job is a job and I’ll go get another position if there’s substantially more money there. On top of that, I also don’t have a true passion for all these math and physics classes but I was just hoping I could just push through because apparently you don’t use it on the real job.

Should I just drop out of engineering and go into business and network my way up to management/sales if that’s where I’ll end up anyway because it’s where the money is at or should I continue these classes I don’t have a true passion for hoping it’s better in the end?

All IEs out there:

• what are your current job titles or job titles you’ve had in the past?

Hey, I’m currently in my 4th year of school getting ready to look for full time employment but am looking for some advice on what to focus my free time on. I have done a pair of internships and while I’m not worried about finding a job I’m looking to make myself more useful and was wondering if I should focus more on learning autocad or programming. I’m ideally looking to get into program/project management and have the basics of both of these (but I’m rusty as I really haven’t used either professionally). Ideally I want to be proficient at both I know, but I just want to ask what you guys in industry think is more important to know as a fresh grad and if you know any good resources to help self learn these skills.

Hello, I'm currently a sophomore in Industrial Engineering. I'm trying to make my schedule for next semester, which will either include Dynamics or a class called EE concepts for non majors. I am doing well in Statics but the workload is so heavy, which is what is stopping me from taking Dynamics since I know it is harder than Statics. I'm trying to decide if the FE exam is worth it for me since I heard Dynamics is on it, but also I was talking to a senior in IE at my school and she said the FE doesn't really matter for IE, could anyone give me some insight on this decision?

Hi, so I'm in 11th grade and I'm really interested in becoming industrial engineer. I'm currently studying AS level, including physics, further math, environment management, english and GP(global perspective). For my IGCSE I got A on all of my subjects (which are co-ordinated science, english, business, german,geography) and A* on math. My Ielts and SATS will likely be fine.

Can you give me some recommendations on schools that have good IE programs that are ranked higher worldwide? (better if the school offers plenty scholarship) Also,I don't have many honors or awards for my extracurricular .. And I'm really worried about it. Do you have any recommendations on what type of extracurricular I should do if I want to get full scholarship for IE schools? (or at least get a scholarship )

I know I started worrying about this too late given that I want a scholarship, but I would appreciate it if you helped me and gave me some tips.😭

Hello all! I’m currently studying industrial engineering at community college for first two years and plan to transfer to four-year college afterwards. I currently have a bachelor and masters in clinical dietetics and currently work as a clinical dietitian. I wanted to switch to this field so that I could learn how to improve the workflow at afactory, I was getting interested in it. And other aspects of industrial engineering. As stated with my plans above, I should be able to finish around at 31. Would that be too late for entry-level position? I’ve heard some companies have started to look at age and do not feel comfortable hiring people later in their age as for entry level position, appreciate any two cents. Thank you so much!

TL DR entering industrial engineering as a second career ending bachelors at 31 years old is that too late for entry position?

Hello, I’m an undergrad studying IE (concentration in operations research) but am also taking lots of math courses (mostly stats and probability but more abstract stuff too) and CS algorithm classes. Hows the path into trading (incl. commods/power/energy/oil trading) from undergrad as an IE major? Thanka

I will be graduating soon with masters in Industrial engineering and am facing lits of rejections. Is the job market that bad or am I doing something wrong. Will appreciate any advice and inputs and connections.

I've been invited to participate in this honor society. Does anyone here have any thoughts on them?

Does someone experienced less promotions/sallary raises because of working remote?

I don't see how could you be elected for a higher role at the company without being around phisically.

My guess is that you have more chances of being promoted by getting to know your boss, your boss's boss and so on rather than working behind the computer.

Am I wrong?

Title.

I am trying to find jobs where I can work remotely. Can someone give me recommendations? God bless

Hi everyone! 👋 I’m looking for advice on which countries have good scholarship options for an MS in Industrial Engineering. Here’s my profile: I have a BS in Aerospace Engineering, 2 years of relevant work experience, and GRE scores of 165 in Quant, 151 in Verbal, and 4.0 in AWA. My GPA is 2.67. Would taking the IELTS or Duolingo English Test help increase my chances of getting scholarships or admission? I’d appreciate any suggestions on countries and programs!

I’m looking to get into industrial engineering but will I be looked over if I don’t have a degree from a university. The technical school classes seem to offer more hands on classes than traditional community college

Can you get a job as a transportation engineer with Industrial engineering major? Can you work at DoT?

Hi!

I'm trying to research opportunities for someone.

This person has a Industrial Engineering degree, works in logistics and hates the repetiveness of feeling like she's doing the same thing all day long.

This person is also extraverted.

Are there any other areas within this field or job titles, with her job experience that you would recommend as a better fit for her?

I'm a soon to be graduate however I would like to increase my knowledge and be more marketable for more analytical jobs. how valuable having one of the data science certificates avaliable on Harvard online, and which ones should I take? I have my eye on python and r programming as a start. Also if you have any please let me know.

Is the area manager role at a company like Amazon...a good job for a recent ie graduate? Ive been here for a month..that's when I got an interview from USPS as an IE trainee...on the scenario that I do get the position at USPS shud I quit from my current role....is it worth it?
