<p>I know that majors like ME, EE, Civil E or Aero E have a lot of things in common.</p>
<p>how is IE different from them?</p>
<p>Is there major differences between them?</p>
<p>I do not know much of differences between them, but Industrial engineering is study intended for individuals who are interested in analyzing and formulating abstract models of complex systems with the intention of improving system performance. Unlike traditional disciplines in engineering and the mathematical sciences, the fields address the role of the human decision-maker as key contributor to the inherent complexity of systems and primary benefactor of the analyses.</p>
<p>In short, as practitioners and researchers in IE consider to be technical problem solvers. Typically motivated by problems arising in virtually any setting where outcomes are influenced by often complicated and uncertain interactions, involving a variety of attributes that affect system performance.</p>
<p>After thinking about it for a while I come to the conclusion that IE is the unique or 'odd' discipline among Engineering majors.</p>
