Job growth in the engineering field is projected to grow 10% over through 2029, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Industrial engineering salaries are on the rise, too—industrial engineers average over $95,每年000.
Meet Growing Demand for Process-Driven Team Leaders with Kettering’s Operations Management Degree Options
Will you improve workplace safety or reduce wait times for theme park rides? Develop innovative new processes to minimize manufacturing waste or work with local officials to expand public transportation? A bachelor’s in industrial engineering is the degree for people like you who want to solve challenges—big and small—that affect everyday life.
What is Industrial 工程?
Simply put, industrial engineers make things better. It’s an interdisciplinary field that combines physical and social sciences with engineering principles to improve processes and systems.
While industrial engineers can’t predict the weather, they can interpret climate data to mitigate supply chain breakdowns or organize logistics for humanitarian relief efforts around the world. Industrial engineers are natural problem-solvers.
