  • Hey everyone! I studied mechanical engineering at the University of Denver for two year prior to transferring to Arizona State University to study Industrial Engineering. Changing schools and majors was a hassle, so hopefully this will help with your decision. Feel free to drop some questions down below!

    Great video and interesting perspective from someone who has studied both. How I tend to think of the differences between these two is similar to the differences from an architect and a structural engineer. The architect creates ideas for buildings and is responsible for the overall look, feel, experience, etc. of the building. The structural engineer generates the structure to ensure the building is functional, safe, sturdy, etc. You can basically replace "building" with "product" and that is the analogy to IE and ME. Cheers!

I am studying System of Information Engineering, but the Arizona Program is only for Industrial Engineering so The program pack is mi bachelor's to System of Information Engineering from UPC(Is a university from my country) and bachelor’s and master’s degree from Arizona Program to Industrial Engineering.

    After two years, you had just barely finished your general education courses and had barely gotten a peak at mechanical engineering. You'll learn many industrial engineering courses in mechanical engineering as mechanical engineering in many schools is designed to cover it as they don't have a separate industrial engineering degree. In most cases, they consider Industrial Engineering as well as many other engineering disciplines as a specialization of mechanical engineering. In my ME course, we went through Agile, Lean Six Sigma and other process flow stuff as part of the upper division course work. Many IE jobs that I've seen specifically list at least a bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent in their requirements description. Coming out of college, the most attention I've gotten from recruiters and callbacks on were industrial engineering and manufacturing engineer jobs. Also, if your goal in engineering is to sit in an office all day, you may want to steer clear of industrial engineering as they have a lot of "hands on" work on the floor of factories and the like evaluating their processes first-hand before going back into the office to analyze the process further. You can't just purely rely on after action reports from floor operators on a factory to see where the issue in your process is. It often requires you to go out on the floor daily to review failures firsthand and to also analyze the process in action as the floor workers or machinery operate to catch inefficiencies that may not have manifested themselves as numerical data.

      @@callmelos9243 mechanical engineering is way more specialized than industrial engineering because their focus is on mechanical systems, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and basically everything engineering wise about manufacturing process. They design machinery and etc for manufacture. On the other hand, industrial engineering is half-half mechanical engineering and economics, jack of all trades, master of none. Of course, career wise, specialist are more valuable as they know more in their field. Companies would rather chose 1 Mech. Engineer + 1 Economist rather than 2 Industrial Engineer.

      @@CM-dx6xu I don't know how experienced you are in the field of IE but having professional experience in both of these fields, I can certainly say that 1 Mech E + 1 Economist does not equal 2 IE. IE is not just a half-half degree, there is a lot that goes into it.😀 Secondly, IE has got almost equal # of specialization opportunities. In simple words, IE is more about designing/improving a "Process" or a "Factory" for its effective & efficient usage while Mech E is more about designing a product that a factory produces. I hope this adds some clarity.

      Because industrial engineering is just specialized mechanical engineering and their mechanical engineering program probably already covers much of it already anyways. In universities that don't have a specific industrial engineering program, it's usually because the mechanical engineering course already has nearly all of those courses as mandatory upper division coursework anyways so it doesn't make sense to dump a ton of money into a new program with an expanded teaching staff for what's the equivalent of two extra courses.
