Group Members: (Maureen Griffin, Alicia , Kyle Weis, Spencer, Bernie Hermanson)

Industrial Engineers determine the best way to build a better mouse trap and market that mouse trap once it is built.

They find ways that are better, faster, smarter, easier and safer so their company makes a good profit, are efficient and safer.

They find ways to help keep employees satisfied and safe with their work.

The next time you wait in a long line for that roller coaster ride or to get processed for Access Plus Payroll Deposit you can blame the industrial engineer for not doing their job! http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/science-engineering-careers/MatlSci_industrialengineer_c001.shtml
