Unit 3 Academic Disciplines of Industrial Engineering
Five Big Major Engineering Disciplines and their Development
In United States, there are five big major engineering disciplines(civil ,chemical, electrical, industrial, and mechanical) that were the branches of engineering that emerged prior to the time of World war I . These developments were part of the industrial revolution that was occurring worldwide, and the beginning of the technological revolution is still occurring.
Development following World War II led to other engineering disciplines, such as nuclear engineering,electronic engineering ,aeronautical engineering ,and puter engineering ,The Space Age Led to astronautical engineering .Recent concerns with the environment have led to environmental engineering and bioengineering. These newer engineering disciplines are often considered specialties within one or more of the “big five”disciplines of civil, chemical, industrial, electrical ,and mechanical engineering .
It is different with the situations of United States that industrial engineering belongs to the secondary level of subjects under the first disciplines of management science and engineering in China.
The Beginning of IE Subjects
Topics that later evolved into industrial engineering subjects were
