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!
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 Or that they came off half-cocked with little to no actual knowledge in what they're putting down. But hey, it's easier to make ad-hominem attacks on me without addressing my arguments at all.
@@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.
Did a diploma in Mechanical Engineering just like Adam, I realized it wasn't for me, I progressed into Industrial Engineering am happy here. I'm happy there's someone with the same experience 😎
Great video! Unfortunately, you didn't put -- or I didn't see -- the basic differences between the two fields on the left and right (at about 2:20). But appreciate your insight!
Yes, mechanical engineering creates the product, innovations, manufacturing systems. IE optimizes the bigger system of these things, products going through a line. Logistics for JIT for example, etc. It complements one another. But for IE to have a job to do, ME:s have to come up with something obviously.
@@tobias_dahlberg Thank you. I would like to highlight that Industrial engineering works from element level to system level. Industrial engineers are primarily responsible for core engineering activities and their inspection. In addition to it, the accompanying storage and transport operations (logistics) are improved. As you said each engineering branch and industrial engineering complement each other. The inventions and improvements done by one branch becomes inputs into the work of the other branch. IEs also make engineering improvements.
Not necessarily in factories and workshops, but process oriented, supply chain and logistics, operations are also some fields where IE engineers work..
I'm a Industrial Engineer. IE's do mostly work in factory from my experience. Factory can be ruff on the body sometimes because of concrete floors and no AC in the summer. Other than that its a very rewarding career.
I m a geography student and I am thinking of getting a diploma in industrial engineering, I think doing a diploma in industrial engineering will help me build a skillset that I can use in whichever career I want to establish in geography, especially environmental science, can u make a video on it.
Depends on what you define as easier. I personally think that my mechanical engineering classes were easier than Industrial engineering. Some people find that IE is easier, but some do not! It truly depends on what you find easy and hard. I thought that ME was a little easier because we had more labs so it was hands-on and applicable.
@@adamschoenfeld1720 good to know .Well I'm thinking about studying mechanical engineering and my friend who's now doing he's second year industrial engineering made it aware to me how difficult mechanical engineering is but he said the same thing you told me on how some find industrial engineering harder then mechanical etc so it's different for everyone one .So I just want to paint a picture for myself on how the course will be and what will I be getting myself into because I don't see myself doing any other type of engineering course
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.
Great video! I am am Industrial Engineer and it is a exciting career but what a lot of people don't talk about is that you need have good negotiation & people skills. You will be doing a lot of Kaizen projects as well. That's why I believe in teaching new IE's this when I meet them. I have meet some Mechanical Engineers and they are really smart engineers! I call them super smart maintenance men. 😅
hay bro, I am from India, your overview about ME and PE inspired me a lot. I completed my ME degree in 2020.. and preparing for Technical jobs... Here we have GATE (Graduate aptitude test for engineering) for doing Masters and jobs in well-recognized institutes and companies I am preparing for it and opt for PE and ME both. Can you guide how to make the balance between these both subjected to score more in general...
thanks for the kind information. im willing to pursue industrial engineering as a major. can i know some of the universitys that are good for the industrial engineering major pls ? thanks.
Im studying a associate of Industrial Engineering cuz Im focusing in Manufacture environment. I want to know a little of that part but my goal is to get to degree in Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in automation. I think Im making a good move or is better a associate in Civil or the industrial? Dont ask me about the paycheck. Irrelevant here.
I’m curious where you got that $100,000 salary information from. Everything I look at as industrial engineer, is making less than even mechanical. Around 70.
It probably depends on what company you're from or what work you're doing. I've known lots of people who graduated ME and is licensed but their salary is still meh. Meanwhile, almost all of the IE graduates I know is making more money.
Hi, Adam, great video. I'm going to get a bachelor’s and master’s degree from Arizona Program to Industrial Engineering. That is possible through my university of my country(I am from Peru). the question is... 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. What's your opinion? Is awesome combination or not recommended study both engineering. I want to work abroad and get a jobs could in USA or Canada.
I'll start studying in IE next month. Also I have a chance to migrate in ME. I'm really confused what should I do. Is it worth studying IE after all? Can I be a successful person if I proceed in this path or should I go for ME after all?
Hey man i know this is late and you might have made up your mind, but im in chemical/process engineering and my masters will be in IE. You can certainly do both!
More videos about industrial engineering would be great. I'm more interested on what a career as an IE brings forth. Thanks
Absolutely, I can make one of those! please consider subscribing!
Keep making video..
Great video, Glad to know I’m not alone in transferring and now “a year behind” studying IE
you're for sure not alone, so many people are. Engineering is hard to finish in 4 years!!
man me too i changed from maritime engineering to IE and im so happy i changed even tho i lost a year in time and money
I changed from Maritime Engineering to IE lost a year but today as im doing my last year in IE i thank mystery everyday form making that step

Do Industrial engineers have to work in factories? I don’t know what I want to do but I know factories isn’t what I want to do
Not necessarily in factories and workshops, but process oriented, supply chain and logistics, operations are also some fields where IE engineers work..
the reply that was posted is a good one. There are many different career paths for IE's, I can post a video of that!
