Thanks #-Link-Snipped-#. Appreciate your support. Here are my responses-
1) I have little knowledge on this since I did my Masters from USA. As far as topics are concerned- one can start with basic topics of Lean management, Logistics (understanding the basics of Supply Chain.) Either-
i) Researching on this would be a good option
ii) Try learning softwares-
Excel is a must so I would start with Basics and then move on to Advanced Excel (
dashboards, powerpivots,macros.) Also, other softwares like
ARENA, Access would greatly boost your profile.
2) There are many universities which offer Industrial Engineering for Masters or its related discipline (Logistics/Supply Chain/Manufacturing.) But recently, #-Link-Snipped-# nicely summarizes the program of Industrial Engineering with university names and rankings, state offerings, etc.
3) From what #-Link-Snipped-# and #-Link-Snipped-# mentioned <a href="https://www.crazyengineers.com/threads/suggest-a-suitable-master-course-for-an-industrial-engineer.54499">suggest a suitable master course for an industrial engineer..</a>, there is no specific answer for this. Depends on lots of factors-
i) University
ii) Experienced vs. Fresh graduate
iii) Career services of university
iv) Companies coming at the career fair events of university
v) etc.
What I would say is
Industrial Engineering definitely has 'wide' options compared to other engineering programs. This is because virtually
every company will have some IE work (eg- data analysis, optimization, automation,etc.) So, yes, job prospects surely jumps up! Plus, lot of
universities offer internship/co-op programs for IEs in summer which adds relevant experience to IE
4) I have created a
list of specific Industrial Engineering companies with their salaries on my #-Link-Snipped-#
5) The average cost per semester would be around
$10-15k. There are universities which have more too. How did I manage my funds- I had an on-campus job (I worked as a canteen cashier and quite possibly the worst employee there😁 There are additional opportunities if you
get a RA/TA, and your tuition will be funded.
6) I wouldn't say 'easy' since you'll find lot of students wanting to have part time jobs. Good places to look are-
libraries, canteen, on-campus restaurants, dining halls, student services center like administration, accounting, etc.
7) Anything of 1350 or above (if a higher quant score, that's a plus) can be considered a good GRE score!
Hope this answers most of the queries. Feel free to ask more if you have any😀
Best,
Zubin
