Description

Our world is filled with complex situations that involve the relationship between people, machines, and the manufacturing systems that bring them together. Industrial Engineers are the efficient problem-solvers who are passionate about designing and implementing solutions for these situations. The versatility of this career has increased at an exponential rate, making it one of the most dynamic fields in engineering.

 

 

CREATING INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO COMPLEX PROBLEMS

When Texas Tech's Industrial Engineering program began almost 100 years ago, it did so with the intent of being one of the best in the country. Now that we have conferred more than 1,600 bachelors, 1,000 masters, and 200 PhDs, our program is indeed distinguished in this field. Studying the information and techniques from physical, mathematical, biological, behavioral, and engineering sciences, students learn how to design systems that address contemporary issues in a wide range of fields. Along with encouraging students to focus on several different scopes of study and filtering information through professional and ethical lenses, one of our highest values as a program is producing a high capacity for continued learning in our graduates. This gives our industrial engineers the ability to continue to grow and develop as they progress in their careers.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

With an ability to understand the unique dynamic between people, systems, and machinery, industrial engineers bring their expertise to a number of different careers in the scientific, manufacturing, and technical fields. Some potential job opportunities are:

 

INDUSTRIAL ECOLOGIST

Observe the behaviors and processes of a natural ecosystem and use your findings to implement industrial systems that are efficient and ethical.

SAFETY AND HEALTH ENGINEER

Ensure that the interactions between workers and machinery are at the highest possible standards to ensure maximum production and safety for employees.

MANUFACTURING ENGINEER

Utilizing research on industry practices, environmental impact, and productivity, to develop and implement systems that ensure a manufacturer is performing at their highest capacity.

PROCESS ENGINEER

Relying on the laws of nature and how they impact developmental processes, process engineers design and implement systems to convert raw materials into usable products.

 

 

 
Majoring in Industrial Engineering is a way to learn how to make the world a better place. It is a field that lets you reach your maximum potential and makes you focus on efficiency through qualitative and quantitative methods. I aspire to solve problems in the complex systems we live in, to make Costa Rica a better place. TTU is a family in which you are able to grow, accomplish your goals, and leave a legacy when you go out in the professional world."
