NEXT GENERATION PRODUCT & SERVICES

Next Generation Product & Services in IE

Breakthroughs in bio- and nanosciences allow us now to use even the tiniest of building blocks, creating structures one atom at a time. AI and improved, more accessible technologies allows us new ways of learning about and operating in the world. Industrial engineers are ideally suited to optimizing these discoveries by scaling up processes — from atoms to devices to enterprises — in order to manufacture radically new products economically.
