<p>How is Industrial Engineering for a person who likes to enter the business field but also likes to have the taste of engineering?</p>
<p>Is IE a good major to enter the business area?</p>
<p>an interesting fact about IE:
''Historically, the body of knowledge stemming from industrial engineering formed the basis of the first MBA programs, and is central to operations management as used across diverse business sectors, industry, consulting and non-profit organizations.''</p>
<p>Well if that's what you're interested in, then I don't see why not. I'm not really sure what industrial engineering is specifically, but if you're planning on going for an MBA, note that business schools like liberal arts majors and engineering majors because there are fewer applicants with those majors and apparently liberal arts majors and engineering majors tend to score higher on the GMAT. Financial engineering is good too if you want to go into quantitative finance.</p>
<p>thanks.</p>
<p>Industrial Engineering is a branch in Engineering, alongside Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering etc. [I think IE is the ONLY business oriented eng. major among eng. majors.....a unique major though.]

<p>''Financial Engineering'' [also called Computational Finance] is , however, a study area inside Business not Engineering.</p>
<p>I'm basically planning to move into management positions after a while in IE.</p>
