Industrial Engineering BSE and Industrial Management BS Presented

Industrial Engineering (BSE) and Industrial Management (BS) Presented by Joan M. Burtner Chair, Department of Industrial Engineering and Industrial Management Mercer University, Macon, GA.

What is Industrial Engineering? Industrial engineers (IEs) figure out how to do things better. They engineer processes and systems that improve quality and productivity. IEs make significant contributions to their employers by saving money while making the workplace better for fellow workers. In addition to manufacturing, industrial engineers apply their skills in a variety of service industry settings such as healthcare and finance. At Mercer University, industrial engineering is one of the specializations that lead to our ABET-accredited Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) degree. Fall 2017 Introduction to ISE and IDM 2

Typical Industrial Engineering Positions As a management engineer in a hospital, you may help doctors and nurses make the best use of their time in treating patients. You may also design procedures for optimum use of medical facilities to help bring the cost of healthcare down. As an ergonomist in an automobile manufacturing plant, you may change the tools workers use to assemble automobiles to reduce the risk of repetitive stress injuries. As an operations analyst for an airline, you may design a bar coding system for identifying and transporting passengers’ luggage to ensure that it does not get lost. As a quality engineer for a public gas and electric company, you may improve customer satisfaction by designing a process to schedule service calls around the availability of the customer.
