Also, as far as the job responsibilities are concerned, IEs tend to do a variety of tasks -- related to process improvement, productivity, cutting costs, savings, reducing time, etc.

They work in
-Manufacturing
-Retail
-Healthcare
-Logistics and Supply Chain
- Consulting
- etc.

Here are some of their job roles and what they do on a daily basis -

Hi Zubin, do you know how hard it is to get accepted for MSc in Industrial & Systems Engineering? I have a BEng in Mechanical Engineering from Univeristy of Bristol, but I got a second lower..Appreciate your opinion

Unregistered Hi, I am in the logistics field and is intending to take either the NUS MSc. in Industrial and Systems Engineering or the MSc in Supply Chain Management.
May I know whether these are value adds to a logistics career to go further up the career ladder?
Or are qualifications absolutely unimportant in logistics industry and only a basic degree is required?
Any kind souls able to share their experiences on this matter?
Thanks.

Unregistered I disagree. Industrial Engineering is very famous. You can find that degree in every country. You can find it in Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, etc.

Engineering in general. Thats the reason. ISE graduates do not even qualify to take PE. ISE is great if you are already holding some management position. Reality is that ISE is not that well known. Think you will struggle to find universities around Asia Pac that offers this course in the first place. Very different from the mainstream Mech Eng, Elec Eng, Chem, Civil etc...

As an ISE grad, I can tell you that our course is pretty much unknown to many companies. They have little to no idea on our scope. ISE was previously a Masters only course which was very good. ISE students tend to learn many mgmt and decision making skills which you will find to be difficult to utilise while you are in your job. The salary is high because many of my peers went into financial industry.

jklmno I guess that means Computer Science is a degree with pretty good prospect despite the fact that I often read in the internet that IT in Singapore is bad.
As for why I think Chemical Engineering pays the most, it is due to the fact that I often read in the forum here that O&G pays really well and the degree is highly in demand.

I thought that Chemical Engineering is the best Engineering when it comes down to career according to what I read in salary.sg

Also, Can I know what does ISE usually do in their lab? Is ISE lab project similar to programming ? One of the main reasons why I have interest in ISE is because I don't like the lab at ME and EE (even if Physics is my best subject)
Computer engineers have extremely high salaries. But the downside is that they have to continue learning and upgrading much more or they will be quickly become irrelevant in the field because computing tech moves much faster than the rest. Not sure why you think chem engineering pays the most, it really depends, if you are a chem engineer and you get into O&G then yes, your pay will be high. But those who dont get into O&G probably earn less than mech or even electrical engineers.

Unregistered In response to the question above, labs in NUS ISE are all computer labs. You will be exposed to many different types of software. Good or bad, conventional lab experience is 0.
