I am an Industrial Engineer, this is a very good video. A friend of mine worked for Disney for a few years, did most of the exact things you mentioned. It’s a great field, very fun work, and the routes are endless. I’ve gotten to work for Tesla, Volkswagen, and now I work in the metal casting industry. 10/10 would recommend.
I don’t know why this video got me so excited. You basically described my life and my thought process in a nut shell. This is totally me! I strive every day to make things more effecient and get things done faster than the day before. I analyze everything and judge their efficiency. And what’s more freaky is that I’m a Disney freak and I was facinated with how incredibly efficient Disney World was. I could of just sat there and studied the Disney lines all day! I think I finally found what I should go to school for!
Thank you for clarifying IE because it is one of the hardest majors to explain and many people don't understand it or get it wrong by explicate only one aspect of it .
My university has a great industrial engineering program (Montana State University), I'm mechanical engineering myself. IE's are fairly often our bosses. Now here, IE's _do_ study some engineering design, just not very much. They basically learn just enough so they speak engineer. They can tell us in our own lingo how to make our machines more efficient. They gave a few good examples in the video, but mechanical and electrical engineers are famously bad communicators, and IE's are often people that have enough tech background to understand our prattling and see the value in it, but at the same time they can _explain_ our prattling to non-engineers in simple English. Something a lot of us find strangely difficult.
@@krishalgupta8616 Well, both are great career paths and with a little extra training, both IE's and ME's can work in almost any industry. The ME path has harder math, physics, etc. Mechanics, the physics discipline, is basically the technical term for classical physics. Unless you specialize in micro-mechanical engineering you won't study things like relativity or quantum mechanics, but you study engines, boilers, mechanical things like bearings, cranks and such. As an ME you can design car parts, airplane parts, cooling systems, you name it. IE's are experts in efficiency, you wouldn't design the machines themselves like an ME or EE, but you might give the ME's or EE's rules to follow, like, 'make it this shape so it can be attached to this other machine'. While you wouldn't study quite as much math and physics as an ME, you would have to study management, economics, marketing, and a fair amount of law. Yes, law, as the person who would be asked to design the layout of a factory, you need to know things like, what are the laws on fire exits, will we be using processes that require hardhats, hearing and/or eye protection? You need to know OSHA standards like the back of your hand. One other benefit of being an IE is you are more likely to be the boss of your team. ME's are promoted to management sometimes but you are specifically trained to manage engineers and engineering projects. Both paths are difficult, but ultimately would you rather design the machines themselves or what is done with those machines afterwards. Would you rather design gadgets and robots or processes, and how those gadgets and robots are used. Look up videos on both, both paths can be exciting and its up to you in the end.
More aspects of IE:: Project Management Cost accounting Manufacturing and production planning Capacity Planning R&D Entrepreneurship Labour, safety and environmental law Industrial psychology Quality techniques and analysis Logistics and packaging design and planning 😎
As much as I've heard how IE's make systems more efficient, I just like the fact of how diversely they can fit into any industry. This is a very interesting ability because it makes one wonder exactly what the world would be if people weren't making things more efficient. In the health and safety sectors, we would experience more deaths due to delayed responses from ambulances and emergency services. There is room for improvement, but all in all, Industrial Engineering is responsible for everyday life.
@@Idk-xi1tr yeah, IE is a good base qualification that compliments any other field, business is perfect because you get to invent and innovate existing systems. I'm left with one more year of study and I'll be fully committed to entrepreneurship.
I just want to add that we don't merely analyse a process and simply say let's do this and that to improve it. While this video is useful simplifying things to get a basic idea, most real life systems are too big and complicated to do that. So we usually use IE techniques like Operations Research (which is developing and solving deterministic and probabilistic mathematical models to represent a system to reach an optimal solution for the plant or organization), Production Planning And Inventory Control (including different sub-techniques like ERP, MRP, DRP to figure out what, how, when, how many to produce from all of the parts at with which equipment on what machine), Work Study (to find out ways to produce more with less cost and same quality) and Simulation (used to figure out faults in a process to later work on to improve them).
Emre Bilge and that’s pretty much what we mostly do in our every day business lives. I agree on the fact that most problems are way more complicated than controlling a single parameter. Systematic approach and OR help a lot though.
@@humanspider9421 It is not hard at all! you need to be little smart, have an open mind for new ideas and just study. Industrial Engineering is a kind of art and everyone sees it from a different angle.
Wow, interesting! Currently starting undergrad civil engineering but for a while was under the impression that industrial engineering was like mechanical engineering but applied to industry and production. Now I see it’s a lot of analysis, statistics, and processing that are at the core.
This is exactly the engineering I was meant for!!! I'm so happy that I found the one for me! 😃😃😃 Ohh I'm so excited, how do I even express my satisfaction right now
Industrial engineering is about increase productivity...eliminate waste & non value added activities... And improving effective utilization of resources. The different between industrial engineering with another engineer is we have to find and optimizing constraints in a system especially in industry An industrial engineer, must be able to specifying , predicting, and evaluating to optimizing their(another engineer) products
I’m already in my 2nd year in electrical engineering and I absolutely hate it now because the major’s professors couldn’t teach and the 2nd lab course called fundamentals of electronics was extremely difficult for me. I’m thinking of switching to Industrial since most of the credits will be considered. I’ve seen some of the labs of industrial engineering students and they look fun and interesting such as the materials science lab part.
right now im in the exact position you were im in my 2nd year in electrical engineering and i really hate it and im about to switch to industrial did you change your major? and if you did were you satisfied?
That's EXACTLY what I've been saying about IEs. Can't tell me my job nor suggest improvements when I know you quit another engineering program, can't do the math, or failed any undergrad class multiple times.
Best video on Industrial Engineering. In my own experience as an IE, we manage and integrate the 4M's of any System (Manpower, Materials, Methods and Machinery) we are also know as Systems Engineers, thus we analyze and improve current systems to meet its Goal. Or we just design a Brand new System.
curently studying in electrical engineering and i honestly hate it. i personnally dont really like designing circuits as i prefer to optimise and look for the most efficient solution to a problem so this video convinced me to move to IE. thank you so much for this video zach!
My mother was/is an industrial engineer, and I’ve always wanted to be one. I soecificllay would love to be able to find a job somewhere managing a car manufacturer, so I can get do both the things I love: management and cars (Ik it sounds stupid). Anyways your video really makes me excited (and for those of you wondering ofc my mother has explained everything she does, and sometimes has shown me but it’s different seeing other ppl explain it Yk). Anyways thanks!!!
Españoles, nota informativa. El equivalente a Industrial Engineer de EEUU es el ingeniero en organización industrial en España, no el ingeniero industrial que no tiene una equivalente como tal en EEUU . Por si estáis buscando info sobre la carrera y esto os confunde. Salu2
bleras1998 Super importante. Es más, es una de las poquitas cosas que hacen que los industriales españoles destaquen. Nos entrenan para tener visiones bastante más amplias.
I looked at this on a whim and frankly this is a perfect video for anybody who takes sudden interest. You explained everything in simple and relevant language, spoke slowly, and left pauses between the sentences so people could absorb the information. Also this stuff about efficiency is seriously how I think a lot.
I'm studying industrial engineering and the field is all about calculating stuff like tensions in materials, designing electrical circuits, improve existing units,...Yes, when designing stuff we need to reduce cost as much as possibe and increase effiency AMAP but that's not the main thing we need.
Solid Chrome I disagree. I am an industrial engineer. Yes, we learned all those things in our classes. But I’m not sure how you can argue that efficiency isn’t our main goal. Efficiency and optimization is the whole point of industrial engineering!
Thank you!! This is what I've been waiting to find. I knew i want to be an engineer but couldn't quite figure out what type. THIS is what my brain does all the time- finds better ways. Thank you for giving me my "A-Ha" moments ❤️❤️❤️
One of the best books on Industrial Engineering and Management is written by Dr. OPKhanna and published by Dhanpat Rai Publications ,Delhi. This book is available for purchase from Amazon.
I'm currently studying mechanical engineering, but I'm trying to decide if I want to stick with it or go for industrial and systems engineering instead. Thank you for this video!
WHAT IS INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING? Engineering to improve productivity based on productivity science. Communicated and implemented through people using productivity management. Functions of Industrial Engineering ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hY38DOhBh0I.html
Thanks a lot for this information. I was given IE instead of CS and I was very worried but after watching this, I'm really glad and grateful for what I've been given🎉
I am majoring in Engineering Management which is basically just this. Actually, both my capstone projects are Industrial Engineering projects so it is this.
Had to temporarily stop my Civil Engineering degree (still intending to finish it) and renewed my studies in Business & Supply Chain without knowing it was even a career option to combine my passions both at once.
Your point that IE doesn’t require high level Math is unfair. Most IE programs requires up to Calc 3. That’s high level math. Statistics is a decision-making Math that can be confusing for many people. SPC( statistical process control) requires lots of mathematical formulas to analyze different systems. Math is a big requirement for most engineering programs and IE is of no exception.
I took Calc1,2,3 Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, now taking another advanced Linear Algebra Course, 2 Physics Courses, Statics, Statistics, Materials Science, Now taking Manufacturing Process which is really known in MechE, Operations Research which is applied Mathematics, also lots of other courses like Human Factors Engineering, Quality Control, Automation Control and so on how is this not advanced in Maths or Physics, or even Chemistry, we take lots of things that MechE’s have and OR and Statistics students have, then we also have a big part in Operations Management like he mostly explained Capacity and Bottleneck’s Analysis and Supply Chain Management, we really do understand high level scientific subjects, but the value that comes from many of the graduates is that they know a lot of everything and that they can make things a lot better and smoother with all of their background studies with their OM and Supply Chain knowledge.
He was refering to field of IE. the college required you to take those classes, every engineering degree does. However most math used in statistics is algebra. DifEQ and linear certainly was useful in any of my IE classes or job application

I share your concern... that's why excellent career guidance is very important at high school. But I'm sure you have found out what your passion is after this posting... right???
@@tickedoffsheikh8587 yeah! wouldn't exactly call it my passion since I'm still looking for that as i grow up but ultimately I've decided on industrial engineering because of its versatility and adaptability
thank you this topic is very important for industrial engineering subject its really very helpful video and it really helps me a lot to understand about industrial engineering topic.
meliale val ..yeah, true. I got a BS in IE , and I am looking to get a degree in data science as I can see the transition from one major to another to be feasible and marketable also.
At least in Spain that´s called Industrial Organization Engineering. I know that because right now I´m stuying a Master Course in Industrial Engineering and its a mixture of Chemical, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering
Also we get to study a bit of every other career. CAD design? Yeah, marketing? Sure, electronic engineering? Also had it. Although it's not nearly as deep as studying the other careers, it makes you more knowledgeable than the average person in those areas, so you can comunicate with the people who specialize on them.
Honours year Industrial Engineer at Stellenbosch University here. This video gives a great overview and cool examples of what we do, but bear in mind that there are quite a few fields and practices or applications of our degree that must be mentioned. Have a look at Supply Chain Management, Physical Asset Management, Ergonomics, Quality Assurance, Simulation and Demand Forecasting / Inventory Control. I urge anyone with an interest of working with both people, mathematics and processes to study Industrial Engineering. I switched over in my first year and I've never looked back. You'll notice that as time goes on from first year towards final year, the mechanical/electrical/chemical students change from "industrial engineering is shit" to "damn, this is actually really cool and important". Good luck to all you future students!
@@lamaa.3232 For one, IE is concerned too with design of both systems and manufactured parts, whereas SCM is only concerned with the management and utilisation of existing systems. IE's would be part of the design to ensure manufacturerability, a SCM would not. Hope that helps!
But there's one question: what if Industrial engineers eventually run out of better ideas to constantly improve things? Getting laid off? I'm not saying that this is at all possible (bcs my concern is probably unnecessary) just assuming.
While watching this video, it literally explains a lot of my though processes. But im a bit lazy. So i try to time everything so that i'm not late. But also not early. Without sacrificing my sleep.
I'm in my last year in Industrial engineering, in the field of industrial chemistry. Lately I have been watching Bio Engineers because I heard Bio Eghineering is a little, not much, but a little harder.
I don't have a degree. I never even went to college. Well part time for mechanic's. And then dropped out. I found this channel bc I recently found out I have ADHD. With all its creative skills. And some how I wound up here. But its funny and some what reliveing. In all i mean all other aspects in life I struggle with. Spelling ,writing ... but this is an area where I can really dominate. Or have a big advantage over "normal people " lol. Sorry don't me to be rude but I don't have alot of these moments. ....... you take a fish out of water and tell it to climb a tree he feels dumb. You put that same fish in water and it's a whole new world.
and I am sorry to tell all of you one thing. Even that scumbag pos Amazon doesn't know or respect and it will eventually be his down fall or maybe not downfall but its going to take a hit b4 it plateaus. My point is that this industrial degree is missing something very important.
Thanks for the info... industrial was my second choice, first one was civil engineering... I ended up working on traffic simulation for my master's degree project... it may be not too long, but can you please talk about traffic engineering... whether it's a branch fo civil or industrial engineering ¿?... it's interesting because you can model traffic on an intersection like a waiting line on a bank using queue theory... or even like a dynamic fluid using even partial differential ecuations.
Thanks for the informative video! This is certainly one of the careers I'm interested in. I'm interested in the combination of electricity, general engineering, efficiency, product engineering, and robotic engineering. I feel like this career is a good mix of the interests.
