Mrs. Turbo has done something similar and has spent the last 25 years working in engineering and manufacturing IT and processes. It’s 90% IT and 10% IE in her case, but the IE knowledge makes the difference in what she does (say, program the machinery that controls pharmaceutical manufacturing)…

In essence you learn to be the person going on the manufacturing floor, bunny suit and all, and deal with everyone from director of operations to foremen to worker bees; then, go back to the cubicle and make sure the software does what they want.

Not Amazon.com or embedded Linux level coding, but a very deep understanding of manufacturing and other practices…

Good stuff, very entertaining.
