Industrial Engineering
Industrial Engineers help to create an improved and more industrious society. This report explains exactly what an Industrial Engineer does, how and where they would find a job doing such, how much the average Industrial Engineer is annually paid, and what education is required to qualify for success in that career field. An interview with a Dr. Don Malzahn from the Wichita State University (WSU) Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering (IMfgE) department is included to better illustrate the profession of Industrial Engineering, which helps to improve our day to day industrial productivity. Without this field our world would be drastically set back and lives would be severely inconvenienced.

Field Description
Industrial Engineers apply scientific knowledge to solve specific problems in manufacturing and other industries, businesses, and institutions, focusing on productivity improvement through better use of human resources, financial resources, natural resources and man-made structures and equipment. Industrial Engineers apply a full range of analytical, simulation, and experimentation tools that are applied to problems in designing, planning, implementing, and operating systems. These problems are found in a wide variety of service organizations, project-based firms, and product-based firms.
Areas of Specialization/Duties and Responsibilities
Industrial Engineering is a very broad discipline and they have to be or become competent in a wide variety of
