I'VE HEARD THE GRUMBLING THAT industrial engineers don't get any respect. Other engineers think that industriaJ engineering isn't really even "engineering." You're treated as the "soft" side of the engineering world. Give me a break! Try being a human factors engineer, er, practitioner, er, whatever the heck we call ourselves. At least, industrial engineers have the word "engineer" in the title (and on your college degree).
