Indust rialEngine ering Educat ion for the 21st Centur y
21世纪的工业工程教育
The 21st centur y is just a few yearsaway. Strate gic planne rs all over the world a re usingthe year 2000 as the pointfuture busine ss activi ties.Are we all ready f or that time? As the indust rialworldprepar es to meet the techno logic al chall e n gesof the 21st centur y, thereis a need to focuson the people who will take it there. People will be the most import ant of the “man-machin e-materi al” system s compet ing in the next centur y. IEs should play a crucia l role in prepar ing organ i z atio ns for the 21st centur y throug h theirrolesas change initia torsand facil i t ator s. Improv ement s are needed in IE underg radua te educat ion if that role is to be succes sfull y carrie d out.
21世纪来临在即，全世界的战略家们把2000年作为商业活动的焦点。
我们的工业工程教育为这一时刻的到来做好准备了吗？当工业界去迎接21世纪的技术进步时，有必要去关注将要从事这些技术挑战的人。
在下一个世纪，人将是“人-机-物料”系统竞争中最重要的构成部分。
工业工程师为21世纪在正在准备的组织工程中扮演了一个至关重要的角色，他们的角色是作为创始者和促进者。
如果这个角色成功执行的话，在工业工程本科教育过程中，改进是必须的。
Underg radua te educat ion is the founda tionfor profes sionpracti ce. Underg radua te progra m are the basisfor entryinto gradua te school; and otherprofes siona l field s.To facili tatethis transi tion,urgent improv ement s are needed in educat ion strat e g ies.Severa l educat ors have recogn izedthat the way engine ering is practi ced has change d dramat icall y over the year and an upgrad e is needed in engine ering educa t i on. Educat ors, employ ers and practi tione rs are callin g for a better integr atio n of scienc e with the concep ts of design and practi ce throug houtthe engine ering curric ulum.Such an integr ation should be a key compon ent of any educat ion refor m in prepar ation for the 21st centur y.
本科教育是专业实践的基础，本科教育的课程是进入研究院和其它专业领域的基础。
为了
促进这个转变，在教育策略方面作以紧迫改进是必须的。
很多教育者已经意识到工程教育
实施的这种方式在很多年中有了很大的变化，并且意识到工程教育中的改善是必要的，教
育者、雇主和从业者提倡用设计和实践的观念，通过工程课程使其有一个较好的科学的综合。
这种综合将是为21世纪作准备的任何教育改革的一个关键的要素。
Hurrie d attemp ts to improv e educat ion are beingmade in many areas. We know have termslike "totalqualit y manage mentfor Academ ia, "just-in-time educat ion," and "contin uous educat ion improv ment". Unfort unate ly, many of these repres ent mere
rhetor ics that are not backed by practi cal implem entat ion models. IE should take the lead in reforming its own curric ulumso that it can help to developed practical implem entat ion models that can be used by otherdiscip lines. Many educat ors and admini strat ors are search ing for ways to transf orm improv ement rhetor ics and slogan s into action. Models develo ped by IEs can provid e the answer s.
许多地方在尝试着快速改进教育，在学术界，我们已经有了像学院全面质量管理，准时制
以及持续的教育改革等专业术语。
遗憾的是，很多这样的词汇仅仅是口号，而没有以可行的实践为基础，工业工程应该率先改革其自身专业，这样就有助于产生出可以运用在其他学
科的可行性的实践模式，很多教育学家和管理者正在寻求能把理论和标语运用于实际的办法，经由工业工程师发展的模式将会提供答案．
Qualit y in IE educat ion
Incorp orati on qualit y concep ts into educat ion is a goal that should be pursue d at nation al, state, localand instit ution levels. Existi ng models of totalqualit y manage ment(TQM) and contin uousproces s improv ement(CPI) can be adopte d for curri c u lumimprov ement. Howeve r, becaus e of the unique nature of academ ia. re-defini tion o f TQM will be necess ary so that the approa ch will be compat iblewith the acade m i c proces s. For exampl e, in indust ry, the idea of zero defect s makessense. But in academ ia, we cannot procla im zero defect s in our gradua tes sincetheirsuccess on the job cannot be guaran teed. Noneth eless, the basicconcep ts of improv ing produc t qualit y are applic ableto improv ing any educat ion proces s. Clynes, while r eflec tionon discus sions he partic ipate d in at a Nation al Resear ch Counci l collo q u iumon engine ering educat ion, said "Teachi ng qualit y, like a compan y’s customer servic e, can neverbe too good and always needsattent ion for improv ement". This is true. A carefu l review of IE curric ulumwill reveal areasfor improv ement. This will help avoidstalecurric ula that may not meet the curren t needsof the socie t y.
工业工程教育的质量
将质量理念融入到教育之中是民族，国家，地区甚至是协会标准的追求目标，现有的全面质量管理和持续程序改进模式可以纳入课程改革。
但是，由于学术界的独特性，重新定义
全面质量是必要的，这与理论的进程是一致的。
例如，在工业上，零缺陷很有意义，所以在学术界我们就不能宣称零缺陷，由于毕业生在工作方面的成功不能得到保证。
不过，提高
产品质量的基本理念同样适用于任何教育过程。
Clynes在参加国家工程教育学术讨论会时，经仔细考虑说，“教育本质就像公司对消费者的服务一样，不可能达到最好，需要不断的改进。
”的确，仔细回顾工业工程课程能够发现需要改进的地方，这就有助于避免过时的，不能应用于当今社会要求的课程。

理论和实践
教学决定着科研的核心，同时，科研也反过来影响着教学。
有效的专业实践要求教学和科
研的融合。
很多文献中也提出要将时间的一些方法融入到工程教育中去。
Pritsk er认为教授们必须把科研兴趣和教学责任心相结合起来。
Samuel son曾经描述过关于浪费，不精确的学术标准，平庸的教学方法和奖学金等大学教育的衰退现象，这些特殊的问题早已在文献中
被引证。
l尽管许多高校已降低学术标准，本科生的人数还是不断减少，减少教学负担以便增加科学贡献。
l从本科生教学中迁移了几乎所有的教授以便研究生的教学和科研。
l 消减本科学生的课程内容以图达到既定的目标。
l 减少本科生有关的实习实践课程。
Curric ulumIntegr ation
Curric ulumintegr ation(interd iscip linar y approa ch) should be used to addres s the proble ms citedabove.Curric ulumintegr ation should be a priori ty in reform ing educa t i on progra ms. Studen ts must unders tandthe way the worldaround them worksand be capabl e of becomi ng respon sible contri butor s to the societ y. Interd iscip linar y educa t i on offers a more holist ic approa ch to achiev ing this goal. Interd iscip linar y cours e and curric ulumimprov ement should link separa te but relate d subjec ts to provi

This facil i t ates sharin g of viewsfrom differ ent angles.
课程融合
课程融合应该着眼于解决以上提出的这些问题。
学科融合应该是在教育改革计划中有优先
权的。
学生们必须了解他们周围世界是怎样的，并且有能力成为一个对社会有贡献的人。
跨学科教育为达到这一目的提供了更全面的方法。
交叉学科和课程改进应该把那些虽然不
同但是有关的课题联系起来，以便为学生提供广泛的技能使他们能够适应变化的社会。
跨学科的融合的形式应包含来自于多个学院参加工程项目的学生，这会有利于从不同的角度看问题。
Role of the IE
Enhanc ed IE educat ion will prepar e studen ts to lead effort s to integr ate entiti es in manufa cturi ng and servic e organi zatio n of the 21st centur y. The IE profes sion ,as a whole, facesan import ant challe nge in educat ing future IEs for this leade r s hiprole. The curren t IE curric ulumprovid es good exposu re to its many unique facet s.Indivi dualcourse s at both underg radua te and gradua te levels in many instit utio n s are compre hensi ve. Yet thereare some fundam ental defici encie s as discus sed below .
工业工程的角色
日益提高的工业工程教育将为学生准备好为21世纪制造业和服务业集成实体而努力。
总的来说，在培养IE领导角色方面，IE教育将面对很大的挑战。
当前IE课程显示了他很多独特的方面。
在许多学校本科和研究生的课程是全面的。
但是还有一些根本的不足之处有待于讨论。
The academ ic curric ulumrarely emphas izesthe fundam ental philos ophyof IE itsel f. That philos ophyis a holist ic approa ch to design, develo pment and implem entation of integr atedsystem s of men, machin es and materi als. Studen ts go throug h cours e s in operat ionsresear ch, manufa cturi ng, humanfactor s and so on withou t understandi ng the interr elati onshi ps betwee n theseareasand the synerg istic impact this integr atedapproa ch has on man-machin e system s.
在学院课程中很少强调I E自身的哲学体系。
其哲学体系是关于人，机，物料集成体系的整
体设计、发展和执行。
学生学习了运筹学，机械设计，人因学等课程，但是并没有深入理
解这些领域在人机体系中集成方法的内在联系以及相互影响。
IE is quickl y losing its identi ty as a value-adding profes sion.The basiccauseof this proble m is that many IEs gradua te withou t resolv ing the questi on of identi ty relate d to the follow ing questi ons:
·What separa tes an IE from otherengine ers?
·What contri butio n does the profes sionmake to an organi zatio n?
IE正很快的失去它增值的特征。
导致这种问题的根本原因是许多IE毕业生没有解决以下的问题：
·IE师与其他领域的工程师的区别是什么?
·这个专业对企业有何贡献?
The root of this identi ty proble m lies in the struct uredand isolat ed approa ch of variou s IE course s. This result s in specia lizat ion that is too narrow. For examp l e, gradua tes todaytend to associ ate more with focuse d profes siona l societ ies rathe r than the genera l IE. This is a distur bingdriftthat may destro y the identi ty of IE as we now know it.
这些问题的根源是由于各种IE课程结构的和孤立的方法。
这导致了专业研究上的狭隘。
例如，现在的毕业生倾向于更多地密集的专业社会领域而不是基础I E，这种使人不安的偏离现象，可能会毁掉原来我们所知的IE特征.
Thereis a big differ encebetwee n academ ic and indust rialapproa chesto perfor manc e evalua tion.The academ ic commun ity evalua tes its member s by the number of publi c a tion s and resear ch grants. By contra st, indust ry measur es perfor mance in terms o f real contri butio ns to organi zatio nal goals. This has a detrim ental effect on the learni ng intera ction that facult y and studen ts must sharefor studen ts to gradu a t e with profes siona l loyalt y, techni cal compet enceand capabi lityof integr atin g theore tical concep ts and indust rialpracti ce effect ively.
在表现评价中，理论和工业生产之间有很大的差异。
在理论界，价值的评估是通过发表成
果的数量和获得研究经费的数目来实现的。
与之相比，工业绩效评估是对组织目标的实际
贡献为指标。
这对学习中的交互能力产生不利的影响。
学生必须在具备职业的忠诚，技术
能力，综合的理论认识以及有效的实践能力下毕业。
In the attemp t to prepar e studen ts for gradua te leveleducat ion, the academ ic curri c u lumoftenhas a strong mathem aticorient ation. Though a requir ed approa ch, it develo ps a very struct uredapproa ch to proble m solvin g amongstuden ts. Conseq uent l y, studen ts expect all proble ms to have well-define d inputs, proces singmodule s and output s. Thus, when facedwith comple x, ill-define d, and unstru cture d problems that are common in the real world, many new gradua tes perfor m poorly. Chisman points out that the bulk of teachi ng should be done for underg radua te studen ts sinceover 85 percen t of them go into indust ry, not on to gradua te school. Unfor t u nate ly, attemp ts to improv e curric ulumis oftensilted in favorof resear ch-orien t e d educat ion, thereb y depriv ing the majori ty of the studen ts of the skills they need to surviv e in the busine ss world.
对为研究生水平做准备的学生来说，学术课程通常带有强烈的数学的倾向性。
虽然这是必需的途径，但是为了让学生使问题得以解决，它发展成为一种程式化的方法。
因此，学生
期望所有的问题都有明确的输入，处理模块和输出。
因此，当面对现实世界中那些复杂
的，不清楚的，无组织的问题时，许多刚毕业的大学生表现的并不是很好。
Chisma n指出，由于超过85%的毕业生进入企业而不是他们毕业的学校，大部分的教学应该针对这些本科学生进行。
不幸的是，尝试有利于教育导向的改进课程更倾向于促进科研的教育，从而就剥夺了大多数学生在商业世界里生存所需要的技能。
Many younggradua tes mistak enlypercei ve theirexpect ed rolesas beingpart of the manage mentperson nel, having little or no direct associ ation with shop-flooractiv i t ies. Such viewsimpede hand-on experi enceand preven t the identi ficat ion of root causes of indust rialproble ms. Conseq uentl y, this leadsto the develo pment of solut i o ns that are short-term, unreal istic, and/or inadeq uate.The growin g relian ce of simula tionmodels that cannot be practi cally valida ted in real-worldsettin gs is one obviou s sympto m of this proble m.
许多年轻的毕业生错误地把他们未来的角色看作是管理人员，很少或者根本没有把自己与
车间活动联系在一起。
这种观点阻碍了他们传承实践经验，并且妨碍了他们对工程问题出
现的根本原因的发现。
因此，这就使得他们解决问题的方法是短期的，不切实际的或不充
分的。
越来越依赖在现实环境中不能切实有效运用的仿真模型就是这一现象的体现。
Like many otherengine ering curric ula, IE is growin g within an isolat ed shell.Stude n t s do not realiz e the import anceof develo pingsoluti ons benefi cialto a syste
m rather than for indivi dualcompon ents.Many new gradua tes take a long time to becom e produc tivein develo pingsoluti ons that requir e multid iscip linar y approa ches.
像其他的工程课程一样，工业工程是在一个封闭空间内发展的。
学生们没有意识到与其致
力于对系统组成部分的研究，不如致力于发展对系统有益的解决问题的方法更有意义。
许
多新的毕业生要花费很长时间才能变得善于提出运用综合方法的发展性的解决方案。
Real IE Value
工业工程的真正价值
Indust rialengine ers are greatat solvin g proble ms. Ironic allyenough, thereis stillone age-old proble m they unable to solve-identi ty. And the proble m is not getti n g any to solve.In fact,“ identi ty” is just one of severa l challe ngescurren tly facing the IE profes sion.
工业工程师非常善于解决问题。
可是具有讽刺性的却是他们仍有一个长期性的问题得不到解决----一致性。
而且这个问题解决起来一直很困难。
事实上，“一致性”恰好是目前工业工程领域所面临的众多挑战性问题之一。
Today’s compet itive global econom y and tighte r corpor ate budget s are forcin g IEs to deal with issues that were barely mentio ned a decade ago. Compan ies are flatt e n ingcorpor ate struct ures; IE depart ments are beingelimin atedor rename d; and univer sitie s and colleg es are undereven greate r pressu re to provid e indust ry with gradua tes who are better traine d to handle a much widervariet y of job respon sibi l i ties.
今天激烈的世界竞争和紧张的公司预算都迫使工业工程师们去解决被人们忽视很久的问
题。
公司开始重新组合团队结构；工业工程部被逐渐被取消或者重新命名；而且大学和学
院也承担着向工业界提供被更好的培训而掌握了更广泛工作能力的毕业生的压力。
On the otherhand, today’s IE has at his or her dispos al more techno logyand tools t han the IE of 30 yearsago couldhave ever imagin ed. New techno logie s have impro v e d accura cy and speedand genera lly have increa sed the IE’s abilit y to cover a more divers e set of intere sts.
另一方面，现在的工业工程师可以使用许多他们30年前的同行想都想不到的技术和工具。
新技术已经提高了精确度和速度并逐渐提高了工业工程师们解决更多样问题的能力。
In additi on, the IE now has a greate r opport unity to concen trate on any one of a broadvariet y of areasthat many compan ies now recogn ize as indivi dualdepart ment s-includ ing simula tion, operat ionsresear ch, ergono mics, materi al handli ng and logist ics.
值得一提的是，工业工程现在有更多的机会去集中于现在许多企业已经视为独立的学科的
众多领域中的一个-----包括防真学、运筹学、人因学、物料搬运和物流学。
The name game
命名问题
What proble ms couldpossib ly throw a shadow on such a bright arrayof opport unit i e s? For starte rs, as new opport uniti es have develo ped for the IE, new questi ons have formed aboutwhat typesof jobs the indust rialengine er is qualif ied to perfo r m.
什么问题可能会在如此明亮的机会阵列上投下阴影呢？对于初学者来说，随着工业工程新
的机遇的产生，诸如工业工程师到底能胜任什么样的工作问题也随之产
At one time, it was easier to define what an IE did .” Indust rialengine ering was simple in thosedays when we dealtwith method s, work standa rds and work simpli fica t i on,” says Carlos Cherub in, direct or of engine ering for The Limite d Co. “But there h as to be some way to get past the old indust rialengine ering defini tion.”
曾经，定义工业工程是很容易的。
“工业工程那时候在解决问题，制订工作标准和工作简明化方面很简单”有限公司的经理卡罗.彻罗宾如是说。
“但是现在需要放弃那些落后的工业工程定义了。
”
Even today,in many compan ies, IEs are stillperfor mingtype of work that makesup what is now consid eredclassi cal IE.”“The big change is that the commer ciali zati o n of a lot of theseareashave turned them into ‘nichethrust s,’” says John Power s,direct or of the manage mentservic e depart mentat Eastma n KodakCo. WhileIEs have always been very adapta ble to these“thrust s” as a skillset, he says ,they are now compet ing for the headli nes.
甚至现在，在许多公司，工业工程仍然在从事那些现在看来是经典工业工程的传统的工作。
“埃斯曼.柯达公司的人力资源部经理约翰帕娃说：“最大的变化就是工业工程领域的商业化使它们成为具有竞争性的舒适职业。
”而且，工业工程师已经适应了这种竞争技能。
他
们现在正在争取这份工作。
Says JerryZollen berg,direct or of IE for United Parcel Servic e, “If a person loses s light of the totaljob and starslookin g at the indivi dualpieces, it comesout a little hairy.” For exampl e, Zollen bergsays that he has an operat ionsresear ch(OR) groupof 40 to 50 indivi dualwho are workin g on the cuttin g edge of comput er techn o l ogy. At one time thesepeople were design atedas IEs. But Zollen bergsays that even throug h they are not called IEs, the job they are doingis certai nly IE-orien t e d and couldbe IE, depend ing on how you set up the organi zatio n.
联合包装服务公司的工业工程经理杰瑞说：“如果一个人不能对整项工作做全面把握而只
是将注意力放在个别的方面，那么结果就不会令人满意。
”例如，诺龙博格博士说他公司有一个由40到50个人组成的专门从事计算机尖端技术的研究小组，这些人曾被称做工业工程师，但是，即使他们没被予以这种头衔，他们所做的还是工业工程的工作可以被称做工业工程，这取决于你如何组织这个团队。
Like it or not, the trendtodayis specia lizat ion, and compan ies are follow ing suit. Tougheconom ic timesare forcin g many compan ies to redefi ne corpor ate struct ures ,with a primar y goal of flatti ng theirorgani zatio n in an attemp t to cut costsand speedthe decisi on-making proces s. In the case of the IE depart ment,that trendhas moveddepart menta l namesfrom the generi c “IE” to specia l functi ons or areasthat are beingperfor med.
不管是否真的这样，专业化是目前的趋势就，而且企业也在向这个方向发展。
许多企业在这个经济时代的要求下都在重组公司结构，以期能够是组织有效能，可以节约开支并加快
决策的进度。
而在工业工程部门，专业化的趋势是工业工程不在是普通的工业工程而是具
有专业的作用或者是个正在改善的行业。
从前的工业工程部已经被分解或者重新命名。
现
在他们已经部分成为质量改善工程，质量服务或者工程服务，仅是名字多一点。
“What I see is compan ies gettin g away from the IE name and trying to have names t hat are more descri ptive of the broade r set of skills,” says Powers.
帕娃说：“我所看到的就是企业都在减少使用工业工程这个名字而在尝试使用些更新的描
述这些技能的名字。
”
For many, includ ing Rebecc a Ray, IE manage r at GlaxoInc., it is a step in the right d irect ion. Her depart mentwill soon carrythe titlePerfor mance Improv ement Engin e e ring.” IE is probab ly the only engine ering profes sionthat insist s on wearin g its degree on its depart menta l door,” she says. “we have focuse d too much on maint a i ning our degree, instea d of identi fying our functi on within our compan y.”
许多人，包括格莱斯公司的工业工程经理瑞贝卡瑞都认为，这是正确方向上的一步。
而且
她的部门也要命名为绩效改善工程了。
她还说：“工业工程可能是工程专业仅有的坚持要
求把自己的地位建立在本部门之上的专业”。
“我们已经过多的注重维护我们的地位而忽
略了我们对公司所起的作用。
”
Dr. VinodSahney, corpor ate vice presid ent at HenryFord health Systeengine erin g depart ment,” he says, “I have neverseen a mechan icalengine ering depart ment .“One of our bigges t diffic ultie s is we equate indust rialengine ering depart ment ,but they are hiredand get a wide-rangeof jobs.”
亨利福得保健设备公司的副主席文纳德.沙尼博士也同意她的观点.他说:”我从未发现有机械工程部,我们最大的困难就是平等看待工业工程部门,但机械工程专业的人却有很多就业机会且就业范围广泛.”
Tony Vieth, IE manage r at Boeing Georgi a Inc., believ es that the indivi dualperso n,depend ing on how they are traine d, can bringthe rights skills to the rightjob and they do not need to be in a depart mentcalled indust rialengine ering. He also thinks IEs have gotten hung up on what over the years.On the otherhand, the decen t r aliz ed type of enviro nment appear s more threat ening to others. “If we assume that decent raliz ed will contin ue to the point of transf errin g IE respon sibil ities to others, as seen in the Volvoorgani za
佐治亚的波音公司的工业工程经理托尼.万斯认为一个人的工作决定于他所学习的技能使他所学有所用而不是取决于他在哪个部门工作.而且他认为工业工程师已经为这个问题困扰了许多年.而巴勒斯管理培训服务公司的唐纳德.巴勒斯却持有相反意见.他说:”如果这种分解继续的话,工业工程的职责就会改变.就象我们在沃而沃公司看到的一样,我们就会到这种影响将会造成这个行业的失业.
But, a centra lized IE depart mentdoes not guaran tee employ mentfor the indust rial e ngine er. Many largecompan ies have “IE” departments whereonly a handfu l of indus t r ialengine ers can be found. An exampl e is Boeing. Boeing has some very largeIE depart ments, but oftenless than two or threepeople within the depart menthave IE degree s. Accord ing to Vieth,it is becaus e some of the functi ons within the depar t m entare so divers e.
但是,对于工业工程部的整合也并不会给工业工程师带来工作.许多大企业的工业工程部里仅有少量的工业工程师.拿波音公司做个例子,波音公司有一些大的工业工程部,但是其中只有2个或三个人有工业工程学位.通过万斯来看,那是因为部门里的某些函数太多样了.
Proble ms associ atedwith renami ng IE depart ments to descri be theirpartic ularfunct i o n may have more to do with appear ancethan with the actual job beingperfor med. WhileIEs actual ly perfor m many of the specia lized jobs, little credit is givento IE princi plesused in the approa ch. In fact, it oftenturnsout that many of the indivi dualfuncti ons and skills used by IEs are viewed by manage mentas indust rial e ngine ering. As a result, indivi duals who can master one of thoseskills are mista k e nlyreferr ed to by manage mentas “indust rialengine ers.”
将工业工程部重新命名以明确描述其具体职能,其间所出现的问题与其说与实际完成的工作有关倒不如说与问题的表象有关.工业工程师们在完成许多专业性工作的过程中的工作原则极少得到承认.实际上,工业工程师们的个体作用和技能通常被管理学认为是工业工程学.结果,拥有这些技能中的某一项的人被错误的认为是”工业工程师”
Yet, thosewho unders tandthe real valueof indust rialengine ering stillrealiz e that the degree d IE brings to the job a unique way of thinki ng.
然而,那些懂得工业工程的真正价值的人依然意识到工业工程这个专业给了这份工作一个与众不同的思考途径.
“Thereare things you can teachnon-degree d people that are basicrepeti tivetasks
,” says Vieth.“But what you can’t teachis how to take what you see, transl ate it and recogn ize thereis a proble m, and then come up with a soluti on to that probl e m
万斯说:”你可以教一个没有专业基础的人一些基本重要的工作,但是你却不能教他们如何了解和转化看到的问题并找出方法去解决这个问题.
Erin Wallac e, direct or of IE at Walt Disney WorldCo., wouldnot hire anyone who was not a degree d IE. “I insist on it,” she says. “When you’ve got a groupof people who are distin ctlyIEs, they carrywith them what we like to referto as disti n c t compet encie s. Thosedistin ct compet encie s for an IE at Walt Disney Worldinclu d e theirabilit y to do quanti tativ e analys is. You need an IE degree to be able to do that type of work.”
任职于华特.迪斯尼世界公司的工业工程部经理爱瑞.沃仑斯从部雇用非工业工程专业的人.她说:”我坚持这样做是因为如果你雇用了一批专业的工业工程人士,那么他们具备我们需要的独特的能力.在华特.迪斯尼,这种独特的能力包括他们做质量分析的能力.你需要一个工业工程的毕业生从事这种工作.”
Wallac e says that when someon e hiresIE techno logy-type majors, they do not get some of the rudime ntary proble m solvin g skills acquir ed from taking engine ering cours e s.
沃仑斯说当雇用工业工程技术类型的专业人员时,他们就不需要通过参加工业工程课程来获得解决基本技术问题所要的技能了.

既然对于工业工程师必须具有技术素质已经成为共识,那么大学和学院必须使工业界相信提供现代的工业工程毕业生是很必要的.表面现象通常是不可信的.
