About
In general engineers are concerned with the analysis and design of systems. Engineering is the application of science and mathematics to the development of products and services useful to mankind, while Industrial Engineers are concerned with production systems. Industrial Engineering focuses on the "way" those products and services are made, using the same approaches that other engineers apply in the development of the product or service, and for the same purpose. A distinguishing feature of the industrial engineering discipline is the integration of humans, machines, materials, and information to optimize the performance of such systems using available resources in the most efficient way, but without degrading social and physical environments. |
