Industrial systems engineering...what is it *exactly*???

[Darien]

Well, I've been looking around for a major other than business (because it's not all that great), and ISE seems to combine lotsa what business majors should know with a few other handy things.

But...what exactly is it? And, if I were to major in it with an emphasis in information systems, what exactly would I be doing???

Ah, ISE, otherwise known as Imaginary Engineering. It tends to be easier than the other engineering disciplines, and there are a lot of girls in it. That's all you need to know.

Go for Electrical, Mechanical, etc and you'll have classes without a single girl in them.

heheh.... Industrial Engineering.... it's referred to as Invisible Engineering

i think industrial is like.... you would go to a company and check out their manufacturing line and find ways to improve efficiency... schedule things... i can't remember exactly... i was asleep during the IE intro part of orientation

Hahahaha, yeah, there tend to be better looking girls in CE, ME and ISE majors, lol.

Anywaz, yeah ISE pretty much find ways to improve the safety and efficency to manufactuer items. They have to take a variety of courses, such as some acocunting and also manufacturing courses. This is atleast what my friend tells me.

hahaha i love those jokes. IE is vague tho... major courses depends entirely on your schools faculty profile.

probably some ergonomics stuff, maybe safety/OSHA stuff, maybe human factors, maybe HCI, maybe plant design/work station design, production related topics, maybe quality control stuff and on it goes.
