  1. PRESENTING Careers in Engineering Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Preparation to Enroll in Engineering Reza Maleki, Ph.D., P.E., C.Mfg.E. Enterprise Scholar Faculty Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering North Dakota State University, Fargo, North Dakota 58108 Phone: (701) 231-8071, Fax: (701) 231-7195 email: Reza.Maleki@ndsu.edu Web Site: http://www.ndsu.edu/ndsu/maleki/Biography.doc Electronic copy of this presentation available through http://www.ndsu.edu/ndsu/maleki/HS.ppt

  2. Engineering and Engineers • Engineers design and/or improve product and processes can make things better for people. • Engineers many find job opportunities in one or more of the following areas: • research • data gathering and analysis • design • development • management • testing, and • sales.

  3. Career Outlook for Engineers About 37 percent of engineering jobs were found in manufacturing industries. Another 28 percent were in the professional, scientific, and technical services sector, primarily in architectural, engineering, and related services. Many engineers also worked in the construction, telecommunications, and wholesale trade industries. Data from 2006 Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor

  4. Career Outlook for Engineers Engineering offers a rewarding and lucrative career - one in which you can use your mind to find creative solutions to the challenges facing our society. An engineering degree also opens doors to other careers. Many engineering graduates have moved into other professions such as medicine, law, and business where their engineering background has been a valuable asset.

  5. Career Outlook for Engineers More than 1.5 million engineers work in the U.S. today, making engineering the nation's second largest profession. Data from 2006 Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor

  6. Engineering and Engineering Management Programs Offered Through the College of Engineering and Architecture at North Dakota State University Agricultural and Bio-systems Engineering Civil Engineering Computer Engineering Construction Management Construction Engineering Electrical Engineering Industrial Engineering and Management Manufacturing Engineering Mechanical Engineering These two programs are offered through the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering

  7. The NDSU Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering ……. help you to open the door to opportunities

  8. Common Denominator: • People • Facility • Processes • All of the above are needed to produce products and services In all businesses there is always a need to improve the processes and the facilities so the employees (people) can better perform their job producing goods and services

  9. Enterprise Input Output Productivity = Output / Input

  10. Enterprise Input Output Productivity = Output / Input

  11. Enterprise Input Output Productivity = Output / Input

  12. Enterprise Input Output Productivity = Output / Input

  13. Industrial and Manufacturing Engineers: Are the professionals trained as productivity and quality improvement specialists. Work to eliminate waste of time, money, materials, energy, and other commodities. Figure out how to do things better. Engineer processes and systems that improve quality and productivity. Manage Projects by engaging early in the process.

  14. Job Opportunities, Placement, and Graduates of the NDSU IME program have become a source of talent working in industries such as health care, manufacturing, consulting, food, transportation and distribution, and information system. With great placement opportunities, the IME graduates command starting salaries in the top rank of engineering disciplines. The 2006 salaries data for the NDSU Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering graduates, as provided by the NDSU Career Center - Annual Employment Report shows highest salary of $58,000 and an average salary of $48,000.

  15. What type of academic background do I need to get into engineering school? Because engineers spend much of their time solving problems, a strong engineering candidate should enrich his/her problem solving know-how by taking as many math courses as your school offers, including calculus and trigonometry if available. Also take laboratory science courses such as chemistry and physics. Most engineering institutions expect you to have good grades in: - algebra (1.5 - 2 units) - geometry (1 - 1.5 units) - trigonometry (.5 unit) - science (1 - 3 units) - English (3 - 4 units) - social studies (1 - 2 units) Because engineers convey ideas graphically and may need to visualize products or processes in three dimensions, courses in graphics, drafting, or design are helpful as well.
