2. Introduction..
Industrial engineering is one of the famous fields of
engineering. Many high school graduates wish to enter this
major in college. But apparently many of them do not know
what exactly industrial engineering is. In fact many of them are
interested in this field simply because they think this field is
cool. Even for first-year industrial engineering students, many
of them still do not know the meaning of this major.
4. 1. Industrial engineering is a derivative of the
mechanical engineering
Industrial engineering has a long history. But you should know
that actually industrial engineering is a derivative of
mechanical engineering. The father of industrial engineering
who pioneered this science in modern history was a mechanical
engineer. The first industrial engineering program in the world
is fraction of mechanical engineering as well. Therefore it is
not strange that many current industrial engineering courses are
in the same department with mechanical engineering.
5. 2. Industrial engineering is not basic engineering,
but an interdisciplinary engineering
Industrial engineering is usually located in the same faculty
with mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, etc. But
you should know that different from the mechanical
engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, and
electrical engineering that is basic engineering, industrial
engineering is an interdisciplinary engineering. This means
industrial engineering involve many sciences or disciplines.
These sciences include mathematics and physics (as other
engineering), physiology and even social sciences such as
psychology. Another example of interdisciplinary engineering
fields are biological engineering, nuclear engineering,
petroleum engineering, agricultural engineering and so on.
6. 3. Industrial engineering involves many principles of
management, but only the scientific management
Industrial engineering is widely known as a blend between
engineering and management. Industrial engineering
indeed involves many principles of management. But you
should know that management in industrial engineering is
only scientific management. In addition to management,
industrial engineering is also studying other social
sciences such as psychology. However, the same as
management, psychology that is used is only a
psychological approach that accepts scientific method.
This is cognitive psychology. So in conclusion, although
this science involves social sciences, industrial
engineering is still scientific at all.
7. 4. Industrial engineering is not only for manufacturing
Industrial engineering often use manufacturing industry as
a model. One reason is because industrial engineering is
much oriented to the Toyota. But you should know that
industrial engineering is not only for manufacturing
industry. This knowledge can be applied across all types
of industries ranging from mining industry, oil & gas
industry, transportation industry, service industry and so
on. Actually, industrial engineering can also be applied in
any system whether it is industrial or not. Therefore, this
field is also often referred to as systemic engineering.
Manufacturing system is most often used as a model
system because this system is the most concrete, visible,
and palpable.
8. 5. Industrial engineer is one of engineers with
the highest salary
Are you curious about the educational background that has
a bright prospect? You should know that industrial
engineering is one of them. According to surveys in some
countries, industrial engineering graduate is one who has
the highest salary.
9. 6. Industrial engineering is a field of engineering with
most extensive job opportunities
Many people are curious about what kind of work suitable
for the industrial engineer. You should know that
industrial engineering is a field of engineering with most
extensive job opportunities. Many industrial engineering
graduates become professional in industry, consultant,
researcher, lecturer, and even entrepreneur considering
industrial engineer is known for the best sense of business
among engineers. Industrial engineers can work in all
types of industries such as manufacturing, mining, oil &
gas, construction and even services.
10. 6. Industrial engineering is a field of engineering with
most extensive job opportunities
In contrast to other engineers, in industry, industrial
engineers can be found in many divisions ranging from
divisions that are directly related to the production such as
division of production, engineering, quality control and
warehousing, to divisions that only support the production
such as SHE (safety), maintenance, SCM, cost planner, R
& D, and purchasing, and even divisions that are not
typically touched by engineer such as HR, marketing, etc.
