"Industrial Engineering has been an ideal education platform for advancement through successive professional responsibilities. Its dual coverage of technical and management fields enables successful interaction in multidisciplinary environments. Were I to do it again, I would pursue a similar curriculum and choose additional electives in marketing and finance. Of course, Purdue would be my choice once more!"
