So back in 2012 I my dad, Ken Ibold, posted a thread titled "Industrial engineers in the house?" (can't link it what with being new and all), where we asked for any input from Industrial Engineers on what to expect as a student. Well, I am now in my senior year and have come back to ask for help once again. This time instead of an essay, I have a couple of projects I'm working on, but there's one I need assistance on right now.
This project is simply "design a teaching lab for incoming undergraduate IE students". That's about the extent of the explanation for this project my group has been assigned. I have data for the number of incoming and graduating students over the last five years (for assuming class sizes), blueprints of our engineering building (for determining classroom sizes), and looked at the first ~15 pages of Indeed.com with the search term "Industrial engineer" to find skills that are sought after (to assume equipment the students would be taught on).
If it is as simple as a computer lab/classroom with a few more software licenses, no problem, my group can write up the report easily. But before making that drastic an assumption, I wanted to try to get in touch with actual Industrial Engineers.
I understand that at a certain point after graduation the "title" on your major doesn't mean much, what with what people end up working on or who they work with, but I'd like some input from IE's in the field instead of from a website.
Tl;dr -- I'm back, with my own account this time. IE's, what is it you do that students should be taught to do?
