After meditative a prolonged time, i have a tough time selecting to vital in mechanism or industrial engineering. i wish to know that operative has some-more jobs accessible as well as is employing some-more as well as improved opportunities in a future.

It may also depend on where u from? … Being Automation and Control Engineer I would say you to go with Industrial Engineering.
Because, Industrial Engineering has more opportunities for the options available beside searching for jobs like working on projects and selling them …. like working as consultant to many industries simultaneously in order to earn…. but it also depends on your interest and mind that what do you think about both of the fields and in which field you feel that you can earn more and serve your society…. In my opinion simply go with Industrial Engg.,,, just because of the more option available to flourish….
Happy Engineering…

From looking at job postings I would say that the field of Industrial Engineering has more job opportunities, but that’s partly because many jobs that Industrial Engineers are capable of taking do not have “Industrial Engineer” as their job title. It’s hard to say whether there would be “better” opportunities in the future - Industrial Engineering generally has fairly good, and consistent number of job opportunities every year (even in a recession) because of its broad scope and purpose. To give you a better idea of the kinds of jobs open to Industrial Engineers, here’s a brief outline Industrial Engineering:
Based on my experiences with Industrial Engineering, I would say that Industrial Engineering is about making people and processes safer, more efficient, and more effective. The industries most notable for hiring Industrial Engineers include: manufacturing, banking, health care, and the military. As I previously mentioned, many Industrial Engineering (IE) jobs don’t have “Industrial Engineer” as the job title. For example:
- Managing the production processes (e.g. Production Engineering)
- Managing the product quality (e.g. Quality Engineering)
- Managing information systems (e.g. Systems Engineering)
- Evaluating, and redesigning workstations(e.g. Human Factors Engineering)
- Optimizing processes, in general (e.g. Process Engineering)
- Managing a supply chain (e.g. Supply Chain Management)
Some universities allow students specialize in areas within IE, such as:
(1) Information Engineering - is about finding ways to integrate information technology into a system to improve efficiency. They might design user interfaces for nurses and doctors to interact with a database in a health care setting. They might design an information system to keep track of inventory (as Walmart does). And so on.
(2) Operations Research (OR) - is about optimizing. Optimizing just about anything. In industry, OR analysts may help redesign a restaurant to minimize the number customers lost because of long waiting times (same thing for health care). In a manufacturing setting, OR specialists may redesign a production facility to speed up the production process without compromising worker safety, for instance. And so on.
(3) Human Factors - also known as ergonomics is all about redesigning technology to make it safer for people to use. For example, the military may want a backpack redesigned to that a soldier can carry more on his/her back without breaking their back. An assembly line worker may need their workstation redesigned because they’re frequently succumbing to injuries, and are inefficiently handling the products. And so on.
This just scratches the surface, but hopefully this gives you an idea of just how broad IE is, and the kinds of jobs available to them.
But where are the jobs..I am an INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING grad student at USC and there are simply no jobs availbale in this market for anybody.Btw most of the CS grad students got the interns or jobs but IE are still struggling..
thats right IE is ur MBA in Engineering…U can work in a lot of fields and have a management perspective to ur education.
BUT CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO SEARCH THE JOB OR INTERNSHIOP OPPORTUNITIES??ITS JUST NOT THERE..WHICH JOB PORTALS WORK BEST FOR IE AND IN CALIFORNIA??
