[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1219804, member: 43436"] Sounds like your son is choosing "real" industrial engineering as a field. "Real" industrial engineering is a form of design engineering with the purpose of designing/redesigning products to maximize product efficiency / eliminate waste. UPS industrial engineering is a subset of cost (managerial) accounting also with the purpose of maximizing efficiency/eliminating waste ... but they're not physically designing anything. Hence why most upper-level UPS IE positions require a business degree of some sort, and not an engineering degree. Most of the IE people we deal with at UPS lack any type of degree and are merely foot soldiers. I always chuckle when I hear some 20-year-old kid working in IE telling me "duh... I'm going to apply for IE at Tesla Motors!" [/QUOTE]
