<p>If you have the choice to choose between industrial engineering or econs, what would you choose and why 0_0???</p>

<p>since fall 2009, i was going with electrical engineering
(community college with quarter system)
fall: calc1, chem, english for secondary language, music (love music haha)
winter : calc2, chem, english - normal
spring : calc3(multivariable), phy (mech) , C++, music history</p>

<p>what should i doo T_T
i'm taking calc4 (multivariable) now (summer)
.....</p>

<p>plan for 2010-2011 (berkeley's Industrial engineering):
fall: diff eq, english lit 0.0, macro econ, phy (waves blabla)
winter : linear algebra, engl - argument, phy (electricity blabla), fine arts 0.0???
spring : micro econ, maths - proofs, intro to engineering, C++</p>

<p>UC transfer applications are coming soon aaaaaa
will appreciate the form of replies...
so, what will u choose? econs or IE 0.0??</p>

<p>Why would you switch to econ?</p>

3

<p>So your future is in our hands, hmm…</p>

4

<p>What do you enjoy? Why are you getting your degree? Does Econs stand for another type of engineering field? I can’t see you debating between Econ & Engineering… They are quite different. :)</p>

<p>^ I have to agree.</p>

<p>If you want to take all the math/science classes associated with your engineering degree but still be a little bit in touch with econ (emphasis on little…), stick to industrial. But if you want to ditch everything altogether, just move on to econ.</p>

<p>A little research goes a long way. You’re the only one who truly knows what you want:p</p>

<p>guys, industrial engineering is very similar to business; it’s unlike other engineering majors. go with econ… more job opportunities. I heard employers don’t even know what industrial engineering is.</p>

<p>Really? Berkeley’s industrial eng curriculum seems a lot more related to engineering than business to me.</p>

<p>Berkeley industrial: <a href=“http://www.ieor.berkeley.edu/AcademicPrograms/Ugrad/curriculum-new.htm[/url]”>http://www.ieor.berkeley.edu/AcademicPrograms/Ugrad/curriculum-new.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Berkeley biz admin: <a href=“http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/Undergrad/pdf/requirements_for_degree_F9_F10.pdf[/url]”>http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/Undergrad/pdf/requirements_for_degree_F9_F10.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>industrial engineering = operations research. operations research is similar to economics/business except with more math involved.</p>

<p>thanks everyone =)</p>

<p>maybe i’ll change my plan and move to econs haha
my mom too does not even know what industrial engineering is 0.0
haha</p>

<p>thanks again everyone</p>

<p>your mom or your boss may not know what industrial engineering is but if you look at what it is you will realize it’s potential. its a new and budding field, that sounds more promising especially in the business field which is drastically evolving right now. then you also have a door open to the engineering field! ie is hard to explain because it deals with abstract ideas that are not that easy to comprehend or apply; that should be an indicator of its value.</p>

<p>Econ all the way!</p>

12

<p>just know that if your goal is banking/finance, you can still get into it with an engineering degree though you might be relegated to a quant position.</p>

<p>just know that operations research is a VERY good major.</p>
