Introduction..Industrial engineering is one of the famous fields of

engineering. Many high school graduates wish to enter this

major in college. But apparently many of them do not know

what exactly industrial engineering is. In fact many of them areinterested in this field simply because they think this field is

cool. Even for first-year industrial engineering students many

of them still do not know the meaning of this major.

1. Industrial engineering is a derivative

of the mechanical engineeringIndustrial engineering has a long history. But you should know

that actually industrial engineering is a derivative of

mechanical engineering. !he father of industrial engineering

who pioneered this science in modern history was a mechanicalengineer. !he first industrial engineering program in the world

is fraction of mechanical engineering as well. !herefore it is

not strange that many current industrial engineering courses are

in the same department with mechanical engineering.

2. Industrial engineering is not basicengineering, but an interdisciplinary

engineeringIndustrial engineering is usually located in the same faculty with

mechanical engineering chemical engineering etc. But you should know

that different from the mechanical engineering chemical engineering

civil engineering and electrical engineering that is basic engineering

industrial engineering is an interdisciplinary engineering. !his means

industrial engineering involve many sciences or disciplines. !hese

sciences include mathematics and physics "as other engineering#

 physiology and even social sciences such as psychology. $nother example

of interdisciplinary engineering fields are biological engineering nuclear

engineering petroleum engineering agricultural engineering and so on.

3. Industrial engineering involves manyprinciples of management, but only the

scientic managementIndustrial engineering is widely known as a blend between

engineering and management. Industrial engineering indeed

involves many principles of management. But you should

know that management in industrial engineering is only

scientific management. In addition to management

industrial engineering is also studying other social sciences

such as psychology. %owever the same as management

 psychology that is used is only a psychological approachthat accepts scientific method. !his is cognitive psychology.

&o in conclusion although this science involves social

sciences industrial engineering is still scientific at all.

4. Industrial engineering is not only for man

Industrial engineering often use manufacturing industry asa model. 'ne reason is because industrial engineering is

much oriented to the !oyota. But you should know that

industrial engineering is not only for manufacturing

industry. !his knowledge can be applied across all typesof industries ranging from mining industry oil ( gas

industry transportation industry service industry and so

on. $ctually industrial engineering can also be applied in

any system whether it is industrial or not. !herefore thisfield is also often referred to as systemic engineering.

Manufacturing system is most often used as a model

system because this system is the most concrete visible

and palpable.

5. Industrial engineer is one of

engineers with the highest salary$re you curious about the educational background that

has a bright prospect) *ou should know that industrial

engineering is one of them. $ccording to surveys in some

countries industrial engineering graduate is one who has

the highest salary.

. Industrial engineering is a eld of engineering

with most e!tensive "ob opportunitiesMany people are curious about what kind of work suitable

for the industrial engineer. *ou should know that

industrial engineering is a field of engineering with most

extensive job opportunities. Many industrial engineering

graduates become professional in industry consultant

researcher lecturer and even entrepreneur considering

industrial engineer is known for the best sense of business

among engineers. Industrial engineers can work in all

types of industries such as manufacturing mining oil (

gas construction and even services.

. Industrial engineering is a eld of engineering

with most e!tensive "ob opportunitiesIn contrast to other engineers in industry industrial

engineers can be found in many divisions ranging from

divisions that are directly related to the production such as

division of production engineering +uality control and

warehousing to divisions that only support the production

such as &%E "safety# maintenance &,M cost planner

( and purchasing and even divisions that are not

typically touched by engineer such as % marketing etc.
