Introduction
Industrial Engineering focuses on the systems and methods that provide products and services for organisations and their customers throughout the world. Industrial Engineers define, build, operate and improve production processes that transform resources into finished products. However, today, the Industrial Engineer is just as likely to be found working in a service industry, as it is increasingly being recognised that their skills are just as applicable to the problems of organisations that provide services. As companies face the challenges and opportunities offered by trading in an ever-more competitive global market, the demand for Industrial Engineers can only rise.
For those wishing to embark upon careers with an international focus, studying Industrial Engineering is likely to have special attraction, as the degree of Industrial Engineering is widely recognised throughout the world.
