Career Opportunities
Industrial and Systems engineers can be found everywhere! According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, ISEs will be highly sought after in the coming decade. This is not surprising given the cost and efficiency pressure on both manufacturing and service sectors. Industrial engineers are hired by virtually all segments of industry.
Industrial Engineers may work in hospitals and healthcare consulting firms to make healthcare delivery more cost effective as well as in high tech manufacturing industries. Another area in which ISEs play a pivotal role, is in successful integration of global business partners. As companies continue to seek a global presence, industrial engineers will be involved in the design of new supply chain networks or qualification of manufacturing processes/facilities. 听
Given the level of impact made by ISEs in industry today it is not surprising that our current job placement rate is among the highest in the College of Engineering, above 90% within 3 months of graduation. 听Many ISEs rise to the management ranks throughout the career and there have been several ISEs who have become CEOs: Tim Cook (Apple Inc.), Mike Duke (Walmart) & Charles Holliday (Dupont) to name a few.
