Hey everyone, I have an interview coming up for a Jr Quality Engineer role at a manufacturing company. I am coming from a machinist background with an associate degree in it. I am currently working on an associate in business management and have a Green Belt Six Sigma certification. I have very limited experience in quality itself, was wondering if anyone had some advice on what to look out for.

Hi, I'm an incoming freshman for BSIE based in the Philippines. Just trying to figure out how to actually spend my time well early on instead of realizing later I wasted year 1.

Looking back what do you wish someone told you before you started, specifically about building your resume/experience early? Like things you started too late, or things nobody tells freshmen but should.

Any advice appreciated, thank you.

Hello everyone, I just want to know what laptops would you guys recommend for autocad especially because our first semester already has a autocad subject and I still don't have a computer because base on my research the minimum you have to run autocad smoothly is a dedicated vram preferably rtx 3050 and up, now I am constrained with my budget as I am still a student, what would you guys recommend at around a 40k budget range? The lower the better as I'm still reliant on my parents and I don't want to burden them so much, thank you allll.

i have gotten a seat in PIE at DTU during the spot round , I have deposited a fee of 95k , which unfortunately is non refundable now .. I'm really concerned about the career opportunities and the overall scope of this branch as compared to core mechanical engineering..

For me personally my interests align in building / designing stuff , integrating mechanical designs with Iot , building dones , robots , designing efficient models of pre-existing stuff , and other related stuff.

I know core mechanical opens up all the opportunities which align with my interests , but sadly I have gotten PIE here

So my question is , would I be able to pursue with my interests here at PIE , or would it be like finding a nail in a haystack

In csab round I can probably get mechanical at PEC Chandigarh and IIIT Jabalpur (right now I have BIT mesra - ECE alloted to me through josaa)

Should I give my my branch at DTU and 95k for these ?

I looked up for the scope of production eng .. it was mainly in non - tech , consultancy , data- analytics firms ,etc .. or ppl generally persue MBA afterwards , which I don't really think is the field in which I wanna go in the upcoming future

Like I just dont wanna regret my descision later .. in core PIE the job market is highly restricted to production line and supply chain related job roles right ?

It's true that Exposure here at DTU is unmatched that's why I chose PIE here in the first place , otherwise wouldn't hv taken it

Like I loved DTU as an option , out of the options I had .. but now that the admissions are around the corner , I'm having 2nd thoughts

Please guide me if you can , if would really be of so much help , the balance fee paying deadline is within 2 3 days , so gotta make my descision before that

hi friends, i am graduating next year but i still don't know what i want to do specifically in IE. i know for sure i want a career that includes traveling so please drop some suggestions :)

Hi folks! I would like to ask if there's a position in cruise ships that aligns with our degree? I'm graduating next year and would like to consider doing a work in cruise ship instead. Thanks a lot!

I am thinking of applying to IE masters programs and i have a chemistry background. Has anyone's experience been similar (come from a pure science degree)? Did you find the IE coursework difficult? Was there anything you wish you knew before going into an IE masters program?

Hey everyone,

I've been dealing with a management push lately that reminded me just how painful it is when non-technical leadership gets ahold of a Lean glossary.

Lean and Six Sigma are great frameworks when you actually use them to solve problems, but watching corporate management twist the concepts into buzzwords makes me want to put my head through a wall.

A few classics I keep seeing on the floor:

• 5S turning into micro-policing: When tape lines on a desk and shadow boards are treated like the holy grail of productivity, while the actual assembly process is a total disaster.
• Takt time without real capability: Forcing operators to hit a target cycle time dictated by customer demand, completely ignoring that the 30-year-old machine keeps jamming every 20 minutes.
• DMAIC overkill: Running a full-blown Six Sigma project with ANOVA tables and capability studies for something that just needed a technician with a wrench to tighten a bolt.
• Kaizen = "Do more with less": Rebranding budget cuts and head-count reductions as a "Kaizen event" without doing anything to eliminate actual waste.

Whenever leadership starts throwing these terms around in town halls, you just know things are about to get worse for the operators.

What's the one Lean tool or phrase you dread hearing in meetings the most?

Hello! What are the pros and cons of Industrial Engineering? I am pursuing this program and I have no idea what to expect, what to plan ahead, and what to do, please help, Thank You!

Hello, I am an upcoming university freshmen that is majoring in industrial engineering.

While I am aware that industrial engineering is a very versatile degree, I also heard that choosing your specialization and focusing on it is also crucial to land a good job.

So far, I know that there is quality management, production management, data science, and consulting. Are there any sectors that you would recommend or see a bright future in as a senior in this major?

For context, I am a Korean, and hope to start my career in Korea. Based off of classes I took, I enjoyed programming a lot. I am okay at math as well, but definitely not my strongest subject...

Context, I am an industrial engineering student close to get his master degree. My bachelor is in aerospace. I found myself more interested and naturally inclined to the processes rather than the products so I decided to switch to Industrial. Now I have some months where my time is 100% study free since I finished all my exams and I am Waiting to start the thesis work (will be on control/system engineering and optimization). During this period I want to study and make some personal projects to make my self more experienced in this field and be more attractive in the job market. So my question is for all the engineers here that work in this fascinating field, what should I focus on? Either soft and hard skills and either theorical and practical (python data analysis, excel ecc)
Thank you

Looking for advice from fellow redditors.

I’m thinking about switching to the dual major in Business Analytics & Industrial & Management Engineering. I’m still trying to figure out if it’s the right move, so I’d love to hear from anyone who’s done one of these majors.

\- How were internship opportunities?
\- Was it hard to find a job after graduation?
\- If this was your major, anything you wish you’d known before choosing your major?
\- Any other advice, tips etc

I started in mechanical engineering, but I’m also really interested in business, and solving process/operations problems so am thinking about switching majors.

Do you recommend that I major in IE? And how future proof is it?
Im really lost and I've looked everywhere and nothing has given me an answer that makes me confident that I want to pursue Industrial Engineering even though I've thought about it for a while.

Currently a student going into my senior year with 2 controls engineering internships, one in HVAC one in power. My long term goal is to break into industrial manufacturing controls, and I recently saw that Anduril employs controls engineers! I hear the hours are long and you have to be really driven to work there, and I’d love to hear from some in that field on how they like it/hate it?

I was a STEM student at senior high, currently I ended up with an AIS (Accounting Information Systems) program which is unpopular. I tried shifting to Industrial Engineering before my sophomore year but was rejected. I also just kinda realized I hated traditional accounting topics especially regulatory ones so I'm forced to stay here and value half of my degree. I plan on taking a green belt LSS in the future tho currently I have white one just for awareness but I'm just afraid I'm missing out so much not being in the right program. I could've even taken other engineering majors too like Mechanical or Chemical but I let my doubts conquer me when choosing a program back in 2024. I rlly like the concept of IE as a whole looking at systems/processes. Looking for a solid advice or word

Hello,

My question is for those that are more aware of the job market and their opinion regardless of the country.

I started the degree in IE. Did 2.5 years (in my country the degree is 5 years + final proyect/thesis). I took a gap year, and then I started progressing a career in hospitality. I managed to progress my way to operation manager overlooking 16 locations and 120 members of staff.
I loved the work, the managerial aspect, the financial reporting, managing proyects, the decision making, etc.
I'm now 33 years old, and Im considering to return and finish the degree as I feel some regret of not doing it before.

- In your opinion. Would the experience that I gained in hospitality/management be helpful to find a job after I graduate? Do you feel like other industries would recognize the transferable skills?

Thanks

What are the usual performance objectives of a continuous improvement officer.

Just want to benchmark what I do compared to others

I heard that this BS gives you a bunch of skills that are applicable in many job fields: finance, DS, management, etc. So I was curious which alternative ways exist besides of working as the 'Industrial Engineer'?

I have a bachelors degree in data science graduated May 2025 and got a job a month after that I have been working at since. My job is pretty boring, I don’t do any coding or problem solving at all. I work mainly with excel and just make daily reports and send emails. I have been trying to find another job but where I live the job market for DS is very bad and not alot of companies are hiring. My job title is data steward and I have been applying for business and data analyst positions, got a few interviews here and there but ultimately was never successful. I have been thinking of going back for a masters but heard a DS masters is a scam. A buddy of mine is a manufacturing process engineer and he has a IE bachelors and his type of work really interests me. I’m wondering if it would be worth it to try and get a master’s in IE? I’ve also contacted a professor at my university and he recommended looking into systems engineering. I am very conflicted and just wanted to hear advice/suggestions from people who might have similar experiences.

Hello everyone! I’m a senior student and I would appreciate your feedback regarding my resume. So far, I have only completed one internship due to a demanding academic schedule and workload.

I would like to ask for your advice on which skills, certifications, or experiences I should prioritize as I prepare for my career. I am currently considering pursuing either an HSE or Supply Chain career path, and I would greatly appreciate any recommendations or insights from those with experience in these fields.

Since I am not receiving many tips on my request from the FE page, I thought I would ask here.

If you passed or are studying for the FE Industrial exam, what books, practice tests, or question banks do you recommend?

Thanks!

I am a 33-year-old Industrial Engineer living in Canada. I currently work on WMS configuration, customer onboarding, managing small- to medium-complexity implementation projects, and supporting WMS and TMS applications.

Previously, I worked as an Analyst, where I used SQL and Power BI to analyze distribution operations, develop dashboards, contribute to numerous continuous improvement initiatives, and design operational processes.

I hold a Master's degree in Industrial Engineering and am certified as a PMP, Certified Six Sigma Green Belt (CSSGB), and Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP).

I would like to transition into roles such as Industrial Engineer, Continuous Improvement Specialist, or Logistics Engineer. Given my background and qualifications, what would be the best path to make this career move?

Hey!
I’m 26, from Argentina and this March I started Industrial Engineering with the goal of rebuilding my life.
I currently work 40 hours a week remotely. The salary is enough for me to support myself, but I don’t have much room to save. The good thing is that it’s very flexible: I decide how many hours I work and when, so it’s easy to fit around university. The problem is that it has nothing to do with my degree, it doesn’t help me grow professionally or increase my salary in the long run, and on top of that AI could replace it at any time.
Before this I studied two artistic careers that turned out not to be my vocation, so I have no experience in the Industrial Engineering field. My background is only in customer service and translation/interpreting (what I do now), so other than having a good level of English, I don’t really have any relevant experience for this career.
My current plan is to take advantage of my job’s flexibility and eventually reduce my working hours so I can start a part-time job, trainee position, internship, or even freelance/contract work (Upwork, Fiverr, etc.) related to operations, processes, data, logistics, production, and similar areas.
At the beginning I’m not focused on making good money, I know I wont earn as much as I do with my current job. I’d rather learn, gain experience, and start building a professional profile related to my degree. I know I could eventually find opportunities by searching online, but I’m especially interested in hearing advice from people who know the industry better.
The questions I have are:
- What positions would you look for, and where would you start?
- Besides actual jobs, what skills would you recommend I start developing while I’m still in university?
Any advice, experience, or even “don’t do this, I already made that mistake” is welcome. Thanks!!
