What You'll Do: The job of an industrial engineer requires a lot of investigation and critical thinking. Before you can determine how to make changes to an existing system to make it better, you will have to understand how the system works down to the smallest detail. Examination of specifications, production schedules, and more will help you to get a grasp of how everything in a specific site works. Since one big cause for extra expenses is having to repair or remake faulty products, implementing quality control measures might be one of your top responsibilities.

You might also be involved with developing more efficient management systems, designing new manufacturing systems, or reviewing production items to see if they meet your standards and the standards of the business. You will have to cooperate extensively with facilities managers and staff to do your job to the best of your ability.

Working in the industrial sector as an engineer means traveling between the office and many different industrial sites, especially production factories. The job might require some international travel to visit foreign sites as well. A typical work week is 40 hours, although overtime is pretty common for all engineers.

Education and Training: A bachelor's degree in industrial engineering is the first step towards landing a position. Other engineering degrees in related areas of study will be considered by most employers. Those who possess master's degrees in the field will have a sure advantage when it comes to employment.

Real-world experience is just as important as the degree itself, so aim to get it through an internship or co-op program. At least one year of career-related experience is recommended before applying for a job.

The Future: The Industrial Engineering profession is expected to grow at about 6% through 2020. That's a slower rate of growth than the average for other occupations. So, expect those position openings to be highly competitive.

The Pay: The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a median annual wage of $77,200 for 2011, with the top 10% pulling down more than $112,000 annually.
