With time and exposure you will realize that your skills are applicable at wide levels which not only make it interesting but will make you the person with most of the knowledge among your colleagues.
Industrial Engineers are often promoted to leadership positions because of the vast understanding they have about the overall systems, unlike other engineering disciplines that are limited to specific areas only. This is one of the main reasons as well why women will feel mentally satisfied with their jobs as Industrial Engineers.
In my view Industrial Engineering is“ Engineering having fun”. You won’ t be stuck with one kind of job for the rest of your life. Industrial Engineering is diverse which is the main cause of attraction for females
I am an Industrial Engineer and just like other IE’ s I was also confused at the beginning of my studies but soon with time and exposure I realized that it was the best decision I made for my career and I can guarantee that no person will ever regret the decision of choosing Industrial Engineering and I highly recommend it to the girls out there who are looking for a dynamic career in engineering.
Being an Industrial Engineer requires a certain personality and to promote this field more effectively, certain steps should be taken and one of the steps I believe in can turn very effective is that the universities of Pakistan( those having IE programs) should conduct“ Industrial Engineering Open House” and invite high school students to attend it. There should be several IE related activities designed for open house events to help the students decide based upon their aptitude whether they should choose or not. Also they will have an opportunity to clarify any questions related to the profession and make their understanding better. These kind of events will somehow give them a sense of comfort from the beginning of their professional studies in future.
