After reading more about industrial engineering I think I have taken interest in it more than graphic designing. ASMAJ do you know anyone that is a industrial engineer or have any info about it? Like does it require a student to be really strong in math, etc.

<p>Depends on which area you want to study in ISE. There are some areas in ISE such as statistical decision theory and quality control where it is extremely heavy in mathematics. But if you are looking at a more management track, then it is a pretty doable major. However, as ASMAJ noted, you still have to get through the usual Calculus sequence and diff. eq. Plus take statics and dynamics, which are weeder courses for mechE/aeroE, so they will be hard (although you take an easier version of dynamics and thermodynamics, but the statics course will be the same). But in addition to that, you have to take sta4321 and sta4322, which are theoretical statistics courses. They are not trivial, especially sta4322. </p>
<p>It is considered the easiest engineering major, but they do great with employment. More hardcore ISE's go on to do real engineering (modeling), but you have many that just go work for businesses and consulting firms. A friend of mine who majored in ISE and just graduated got a job with Merrill Lynch, so he's going to be getting a salary I can only dream of as an EE. So they may be looked down upon by other engineering majors, but they're laughing all the way to the bank.</p>
