What is industrial engineering
Industrial engineering analyzes and optimizes systems to make them more efficient. Industrial engineers work in various industries like manufacturing, logistics, banking, and more. They determine things like the best location for a new store, the shortest delivery routes, and how to efficiently pack products. The document promotes studying industrial engineering and introduces the student organization SAIIE Maties, which organizes site visits, guest speakers, and social events to encourage the study of industrial engineering.
