Industrial Engineering deals with four main areas: Ergonomics, Operations Research, Management Systems, and Manufacturing. For our activity, we will focus on the optimization of building a tower that will focus on three performance measures: budget, height, and holding a weight. During the activity the kids, will learn the tradeoffs for purchasing items, which combinations of supplies work the best together (design of experiments), and more importantly be learning about process improvement, which is the focus of many Industrial Engineering jobs.
Presented by Alpha Pi Mu at Virginia Tech, an Industrial Engineering Honors Society.
