<p>what are the vital figures for safe entry into the above for Majors(M.S)......how is the industrial engineering sector as a whole.......would love if anybody helps me for this....coz i hav popped my eyeballs out for the above queries.....thanks</p>
<p>Stanford's Management Science & Engineering (MS&E) program had an average GPA of 3.69 in 2007, making it one of the least selective majors at Stanford (along with Education).</p>
<p>MS&E</a> | Admissions</p>
<p>thanks.....im_blue
but my research about it made me attracted towards IEOR...variety of job on every day (if u r in a consulting firm )....can have innovative soln's etc.</p>
<p>i mean is this thing "out-of-demand" or what??
do reply.........</p>
<p>Industrial engineers determine the most effective ways to use the basic factors of production—people, machines, materials, information, and energy—to make a product or provide a service. They are primarily concerned with increasing productivity through the management of people, methods of business organization, and technology. To maximize efficiency, industrial engineers carefully study the product requirements and design manufacturing and information systems to meet those requirements with the help of mathematical methods and models. They develop management control systems to aid in financial planning and cost analysis, and design production planning and control systems to coordinate activities and ensure product quality. They also design or improve systems for the physical distribution of goods and services and determine the most efficient plant locations. Industrial engineers develop wage and salary administration systems and job evaluation programs. Many industrial engineers move into management positions because the work is closely related to the work of managers.</p>
<p>Civil engineers 256,000
Mechanical engineers 227,000
Industrial engineers 201,000
Electrical engineers 153,000 </p>
<p>Industrial engineers are expected to have employment growth of 20 percent over the projections decade, faster than the average for all occupations. As firms look for new ways to reduce costs and raise productivity, they increasingly will turn to industrial engineers to develop more efficient processes and reduce costs, delays, and waste. This should lead to job growth for these engineers, even in manufacturing industries with slowly growing or declining employment overall. Because their work is similar to that done in management occupations, many industrial engineers leave the occupation to become managers. Many openings will be created by the need to replace industrial engineers who transfer to other occupations or leave the labor force.</p>
<p>bls.</p>
<p>thanks....lacero....well u did present thngs well for industrial engineering..........is it really that good ?</p>
<p>im_blue,</p>
<p>Are you sure that's among the least selective? That's a pretty high GPA for MS admission. If it were PhD admission, then I agree it's not that selective.</p>
