All about Industrial Engineering
First of all
¿What is Industrial Engineering?
Industrial engineering is a branch of engineering management concerned with how to make or do things better, crossing a range of disciplines associated with manufacturing industrial or consumer products.
What is the mission of the Industrial engineering?
Industrial engineers work to reduce any waste of time, money, materials, energy or other commodities by streamlining procedures and processes. This is achieved through the application of specialist knowledge and skills to specify, predict and evaluate results from processes and systems.
Employment areas for an  Industrial Engineer
Automotive, Textile, Manufacturing, Informatics, Finance, Consulting, Electrical, Electronics, Mining and Metal Industry, Telecommunications, Construction, Food, Chemistry, Service, Education, Logistics, Transportation, Tourism, Health and Energy are among the sectors where Industrial Engineers can be employed at.
Department areas where Industrial Engineers can be employed
Production Planning, Logistics, Quality Management, Marketing and Sales, Purchasing, Human Resources, Product and Process Development, Financial Planning, Research and Development, Academic Career, Innovation Applications, Knowledge Management  are among the fields where Industrial Engineers can pursue a career in.
Most famous Industrial Engineers
Henry Ford (1863-1947), founder of the automotive company bearing his name, is possibly the most famous industrial engineer of all time. Ford exemplifies the definition of an industrial engineer. He is best known perhaps as the entrepreneur who installed the first moving assembly line for the mass production of an entire automobile. His innovation cut the time it took to build a car from more than 12 hours to 2 hours and 30 minutes. But there are other industrial engineers who have made their marks as well.
Eli Whitney (1765-1825)
Whitney invented the cotton gin, considered one of the most important contributions to the Industrial Revolution. In addition, the engineer was a proponent of interchangeable parts for machinery. Both solutions helped increase efficiency for their respective industries. The cotton gin revolutionized the way cotton was harvested in the US southern states and strengthened the economic argument for slavery.
Lillian Gilbreth (1878-1972)
Is considered the "mother of modern management." She pioneered industrial management techniques still used today. Working with her husband, Frank, who focused on the technical aspects of worker efficiency, Lillian aimed to discern the human aspects of time management. As a result of the couple's work, job standardization, incentive wage plans, and job simplification became familiar within the workplace. In addition, she was among the first to identify how fatigue and stress negatively impacted time management. 
Alphonse Chapanis (1917-2002)
Was a pioneer in the field of ergonomics. He authored the first ergonomics textbook, Applied Experimental Psychology: Human Factors in Engineering Design. In addition, he created and implemented safety improvements in aircraft cockpits, which are still used today. His research also contributed to the design of the standard telephone touchtone keypad.
Why do I want to study Industrial Engineering?
Well, my answer is
When I was in high school thinking of what do I want to do the next 5 years of my life, why do I want to study. Well, I know that I want an engineering, and after doing a lot of vocational test, and knowing that I like too much the things about the industrial process in the industry, I head into Industrial Engineering. 
The End
Thank all of you for your attention and for watching this video, hope someone finds out that the Industrial Engineering is amazing.
