Industrial Engineering Graduates

Melanie s father was an industrial engineer, and he had convinced her that this would be a good career path for her. After graduation, she went to work for a large semiconductor company on the West Coast. She works in a team that is designing the layout of a manufacturing process. They are concerned with efficiency and the control of production and materials. Melanie is personally responsible for the ergonomic aspects of the jobs and must ensure that each job is safe and that any risk of injury is removed. She enjoys her job and typically works about 40 to 50 hours per week. In her spare time, she likes to play tennis and has joined a health club where she can play and meet other people with similar interests.

Teaching inherently safer technology concepts in undergraduate chemistry, chemical engineering, and related disciplines will be a great benefit as students move into industry after graduation. 

The project Human Error in the Process Industry within the Ergonomics Section of the Technology Work Department at the Graduate School of Industrial Engineering and Management Science was started in 1985. In order to get acquainted with the world of chemical process control two exploratory investigations were carried out in the first two years at Dutch chemical companies. This led to the development of a prototype classification model of system failure (see Chapter 5 for the most recent version).
