Introduction to Industrial Engineering

Industrial Engineering is an exciting field that sometimes seems to be hidden in the background. The goal of writing this book was to give the reader enough information to assess if it might be the right career for them.

It is deliberately short, gives a glimpse of the day-to-day activities that might be encountered, and includes some personal stories to illustrate the details involved. The intention is to be educational without being tutorial while providing a somewhat comprehensive overview to help the reader decide if industrial engineering might be the right career for them.
