Industrial and systems engineering encompasses analysis, design, and implementation of systems through optimal use of resources—human, material, energy, information, and financial. Systems may range from small units to extremely large operations. The industrial engineer must be skilled in mathematics, physical sciences, management, and human relations; and understands and designs solutions for the complexities of manufacturing, computer systems, economics, optimization, human behavior, and systems analysis and design.
