From UFs ISE Website www.ise.ufl.edu

•  What Is ISE?
• Industrial engineering is involved with the
  design and operation of efficient and effective
  systems that provide products and services.
•    Why is IE Different?
• What sets industrial engineering apart from other
  engineering disciplines is its broader scope. An
  IE deals with people as well as things. An IE
  relates to the total picture of productivity
  improvement. (And productivity in simplest terms
  means getting the most out for the least put
  in.)An IE may be employed in almost any type of
  industry, business or institution, from real
  establishment to manufacturing plants to
  government offices to hospitals.

From UFs ISE Website www.ise.ufl.edu

•   IE's are Really 'Engineers Plus'
• Like other engineering fields, including
  aeronautical, chemical, civil, electrical,
  mechanical, nuclear or petroleum, industrial
  engineering is concerned with solving problems
  through application of scientific and practical
  knowledge. But the IE differs from other
  engineers because he or she uses knowledge in a
  wider variety of applications.The industrial
  engineer also applies problem-solving techniques
  in almost every kind of organization. There are
  IE's in banks, hospitals, government at all
  levels, transportation, construction, processing,
  social service, electronics, facilities design,
  manufacturing and warehousing. Hundreds of
  thousands of IE's are engaged in these and other
  activities worldwide.
