What's it like to be an Industrial Engineer?
Armed with knowledge of mathematics, physical and social sciences, engineering and business, Industrial Engineers study, analyse, and design solutions to optimise integrated systems of people, materials, information, equipment, and energy. Their role focuses on improving quality control, resource planning and scheduling, logistics and material flows, production coordination, ergonomics, and safety.
Tasks and duties
- Assessing systems and processes in organisations.
- Inspecting manufacturing plants and factory floors or work areas.
- Designing and developing integrated systems.
- Testing and evaluating integrated systems.

Industrial Engineers can work in manufacturing industries and in service industries such as hospitals, telecommunications, e-commerce, entertainment, government, finance, food, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, sport, insurance, sales, accounting, banking, travel, and transportation. Often working with a team of other professionals, they are comfortable handling large amounts of data and have excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
How to become an Industrial Engineer
Industrial Engineers need at least a bachelor degree. On top of this, some jobs may also require a Professional Engineering Licence.
- Complete a bachelor degree in industrial engineering. This is a four-year program that includes compulsory industrial training for a minimum of two months. The Engineering Accreditation Council Malaysia does not accredit programs with only three years of study.
- Register with the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) as a Graduate Engineer. You need this certification to practise engineering in Malaysia. If you studied industrial engineering overseas, you can register for a Graduate Engineer certification as long as you hold a Washington Accord-accredited degree.
- Obtain a Professional Engineering Licence if required. A common pathway to becoming licensed is three years of practical training followed by an exam.
