A Look at Industrial Engineering

One of the toughest decisions you make in your college life will be to declare a major, which is the reason why many students enter college undecided. There are even some who might be interested in an area such as engineering but might not know which field to study. Are you one of these people?

If you’re looking for an engineering degree and want to make a difference in the lives of people, Industrial Engineering is what you’re looking for! Today in America recently filmed a segment about Industrial Engineering and the differences industrial engineers have made in the world. Hear from real industrial engineering professionals about their job and how much they enjoy doing something that makes a difference. Take a look here:

If you’re interested in industrial engineering or would like to know more about it, come by our office in 420 Woolf Hall and ask to speak to someone about your questions. You can even email us at IMSEinfo@uta.edu.
