One way we can achieve that exposure is through partnerships withnonUS institutions.Conclusions and future researchWhile we all often lament the lack of recognition for industrial engineering in the US,this review clearly shows the situation could be worse – and could be better. Perhaps thesituation is improving in the US. Price13 states that industrial engineering accounted for14% of all engineering jobs in the US in 2000, growing from only 8.9% in 1990.While we cannot support the statement with numbers, we found that the phrase“production
