The Skills They Seek

In keeping with all of the economic and business trends affecting employment in the industrial engineering sector, good problem-solving skills seem to be at or near the top of every recruiter's wish list when seeking new-hires. "Employers want someone to be able to take a systems view of things, to look from a broad perspective and be able to isolate the essential parts of any system," Birge says.

"Computing skills are another important emphasis in our program," he adds. "We want our students to be familiar with systems, but also in terms of diagnosis, to be able to lay out a system, define procedures and processes. We also try to give students a good sense of the bottom line, which is what employers want to see."

Daskin of Northwestern notes that in addition to a strong technical background, employers like to see experience in team projects, as well as a solid grip on written and communication skills. "About 30 percent of our graduates have been through a co-op program, so they have a lot of exposure to the business world already," he says.

Lastly, according to Carrese of RIT, companies want new-hires who can hit the ground running. "They want to see a good sense of inner logic. And they want people who can work as part of a team," she says. "Most of the time you're not designing or reviewing projects in a vacuum. You're sitting around the table with a whole team of people who at some point will design, touch or use the product being developed."

I think the skills are very necessary in a production process. this is because not all employees in a company choose a skill in work. existing skills in people that would not be created directly. in a company's skills so necessary in the production process in which the higher a person's skill level the higher of value of their productivity at work. because people who have high skill can Improve all problem-solving an issue that they face in work. it is so necessary in the company to face an issue that came suddenly. and in this work skills in dealing with a problem is needed. therefore companies need workers who not only clever but also a skilled worker. apart in the face of problems, in my opinion the creation of a product work as required patience and skill to create a product that produced results as expected. so that the skills of workers who should be sought as well in addition to skill in taking on a company's workers. I think besides brilliance of things to consider in recruiting employees also required the skills of the employee. Because skills in making decisions, running the production work is also an added value that one has to apply for job in a company.
