I loved the Industrial Engineering program at St. Ambrose.
I made great friends, loved my classes, and got a wonderful experience.
I interned at Carleton Life Support.
I was able to help solve a frustrating problem for the labs.
They weren’t able to get inventory parts as needed.
They would have to stop in the middle of a project and send somebody out for the part they were missing.
So I interviewed the lab technicians until I understood the problem,
and then I worked with a computer programmer to design an inventory supply system that Carleton is using!
As for my St. Ambrose professors, they really want to help you.
They’re not there to weed you out, like at some big universities.
And the students are very close to each other. We all work well together.
I get to use all my skills here: art, math and science, even social.
There’s a way of talking to people to find out how you can help them.
Industrial engineering is about helping people do their jobs better.
It’s interesting, fun and challenging.”

Have you, too, always had an interest and aptitude in science, math or technology?
Take this short quiz and see if this sounds like you:
- When you were little, you spent more time trying to figure out how your toys were put together than actually playing with them.
- Your favorite birthday presents were a sketchpad and pens, or Legos.
- Even though it was geeky, you secretly looked forward to your arithmetic and science classes.
- You’re the one your friends come to when they need help figuring out how to get things done.
- You still get a charge out of math and science.
Even when you’re challenged, you don’t have to worry too much about pulling down a decent grade in those subjects.

If any of these sounds like you, you might consider a career in
industrial engineering.
Now more than ever, businesses and manufacturers need qualified industrial engineers and technicians who
have a combination of engineering, business and people skills.
