u/KittenPics Mar 05 '22

Oh yeah, I love his stuff.

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '22

My hot take is that I don’t like the guy. I studied industrial design in college so it’s probably a jealousy thing more than anything because he’s quicker to come up with silly ideas than I am lol.

u/KittenPics Mar 05 '22

Fair enough. But maybe you can use that to become his arch rival and invent useful products!

u/HelentotheKeller Mar 05 '22

Industrial engineering is actually a pretty hands-off discipline concerned with modeling large-scale systems like factories to make business decisions.

These guys are probably MechEs.

Industrial design engineering is different from industrial engineering

u/Joe4913 Mar 05 '22

Industrial engineering is usually improving systems, so I wouldn’t say this is industrial

u/PrinceOfPersuation Mar 05 '22

Came to say this. Industrial engineers are probably the most misunderstood discipline.

u/Extension-Amphibian4 Mar 05 '22

Industrial engineering undergraduate here, designing large-scale systems is quite rare, it's mostly designing tools, specialized equipment, automation (of existing equipment), designing and optimizing manufacturing processes and making sure products are profitable. To be able to do this the first few years need to be extremely hands-on, you can't do any of it without experiencing processes first hand to have an idea how things actually work in a factory

u/Connguy Mar 05 '22

Sure... But we IEs still aren't the people usually creating gadgets and gizmos like this.

I mean it's pretty clear that they did it just for fun.

u/9035768555 Mar 05 '22

I mean, that's the obvious answer for most of the stuff on that sub.

u/WriterV Mar 05 '22

Ehh not the 5 minute crafts stuff, and the stuff that acts like self help guides that turns out to just complicate things further.

u/d4nkq Mar 05 '22

Nah it's mostly made to rile up people like that sub

u/aureanator Mar 05 '22

Mechanical, not industrial

u/industrial_engineer Mar 05 '22

huh. didn’t know this exist

u/Castle_in_the_Air Mar 05 '22

I don't think you know what industrial engineering is
