With the demand in Manufacturing going down hill, is it good to go for IE?
(and only like 100 schools offer IE) which is low compared to EE, M E etc.
is IE just manufacturing and factories?

How is IE (w/ an emphasize in OR)? IEOR?

is it true IE-OR is applicable in other industries like finance/banking, health, transportation, Fed Gov, etc?

Some schools offer Financial Engineering as part of the IE Dept.
What exactly is FE? How is the field?

Of all the Eng. major, IE(OR) seems to be the strangest type.
The business orientation of the major seems interesting.
