Definition of IE Industrial Engineering is concerned with the design, improvement and installation of integrated systems of people, material, information, equipment and energy. It draws upon specialized knowledge and skills in the mathematical, physical and social sciences together with principles and methods of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems. (Do we need an UPDATE?)
New Definition Under Review(Nadler, Khoshnevius, Mize) “Designing and Improving Systems” • IE Mission and Strategic Direction • Forthcoming Topic in IE Engineer • Seek Dialogue with Membership
