Exchange Program

Exchange Program - 2015


There’s a great big world out there and the time to discover it is now. Experiencing a new culture can help you better understand yourself and the world around you.

An exchange program is an amazing opportunity to study abroad through semester-long, year or summer at a foreign university. Many Organizations offer an exchange of cultural, academic and work. The few big names include UGRAD, ERASMUS and AIESEC. Among them Global UGRAD is most popular.

The Global Undergraduate Exchange Program (also known as the Global UGRAD Program) provides one semester and academic year scholarships to outstanding undergraduate students combined with community service, internships and cultural enrichment. UGRAD is a merit-based competition. Every year UGRAD send approx. 250 students from all over the Pakistan to study for a semester at a university in the U.S.

Many students from NED enjoyed this opportunity, a few weeks ago, my friend Kundan Kumar (CE – Batch 11-12) returned from Saginaw Valley State University, US and another from Syracuse University, NY.  He stated, “This was the best experience I have had so far in my life. I know that everyone goes on, these trips hoping and wishing for different things; some just hope to have a good time but the majority wish (secretly) to change. May be a different version of themselves, may be a whole new person! I fall under the category of desiring to change, and I got along. Merely, as fate often has it, I did not change into the person that I imagined I would. I got much, much more of the person that I was. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone.”

Student exchanges can be a transformative learning experience. They expose students to another way of living, another culture and sometimes some other language. As students navigate their path through a novel environment, they hone their problems solving and managing skills, frequently resulting in increased independence and self-assurance. Unfamiliar situations or seemingly strange personal interactions give students the opportunity to develop their information gathering, critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Exchanges are also a time for self-reflection and, with proper steering, they not only broaden a students’ knowledge of the world but also they deepen their knowledge of themselves, their communities and their country.

The Global UGRAD program is advertised every year by October/November (please check: http://www.usefpakistan.org/Programs/GlobalUGrad.cfm). The application form is required to be submitted online. The whole procedure: How to apply and Eligibility Criteria is mentioned on the above link.

I highly encourage all F.E and S.E students to participate in the Global UGRAD program. Participation in an exchange program is not a one-time event, but the beginning of an exchange of ideas that continues throughout your life. For any further help you have to find me. Best of luck (Y).

What is Manufacturing Engineering?

What is Manufacturing Engineering?

From the shoes on your feet to the car you drive, nearly everything you use in your daily life is man-made, or ‘manufactured’.
At its most basic level, Manufacturing Engineering is designing things and taking them from concept right through to working products.
The reality is more complex, of course, and much more interesting.
Manufacturing Engineers:
  • design a product,
  • select the best technologies and processes for manufacturing it,
  • plan and design the factory that will produce the product, and
  • oversee the running, management, maintenance and improvement of the factory. 
It doesn’t end there. Manufacturing Engineers also get involved in supply chain management, logistics and distribution, quality management as well as environmental and life-cycle management.
In short, Manufacturing Engineering is the branch of engineering that is concerned with understanding, analysing and improving complex industrial, manufacturing and infrastructure systems. 

The growing importance of Manufacturing Engineering

We live in an age of rapid innovation, complex technology and sustainability. Naturally, the job of a Manufacturing Engineer has become even more important.
Organisations, both public and private, are crying out for Manufacturing Engineers because they have diverse analytical skills, especially skills in integrating technology with commercial and organisational solutions.

What skills do Manufacturing Engineers need?

Manufacturing Engineering is based on core mechanical engineering skills, adding important elements from mechatronics, commerce, economics and business management.
Why? Think about it like this. Say a factory needs designing. Not only does the factory need to produce a product, it also needs to produce it efficiently and be able to meet the demand for the product, and do so at the right cost, quality and delivery timeframe.
Phew, sounds complicated. And it can be. But because Manufacturing Engineers can see the ‘big picture’ as well as ‘the specific details’ – their training, and broad skill set make it easy for them to get the job done.
Manufacturing Engineering is probably the most flexible and marketable of all the engineering disciplines.  In fact, many engineers that originally studied other engineering disciplines will end up practicing as Manufacturing Engineers.

Manufacturing Engineering around the world

Manufacturing engineering is an extremely important discipline worldwide.  It goes by different names in different countries.  In the United States and the continental European Union it is commonly known as ‘Industrial Engineering’ and in the United Kingdom it is called ‘Manufacturing Engineering’, as is it in Australia.

WHAT IS INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING?

WHAT IS INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING?

"WHY ONE SHOULD CHOOSE INDUSTRIAL & MANUFACTURING AS A MAJOR"



Many teens exiting high school or “undeclared” college freshman are at an uncertain time in their lives: They may have interests and subjects they enjoy, but simply don’t know what they want to pursue for work after graduation.
However, many may not even be aware of a major that could lead to an interesting and prosperous career: industrial engineering. While industrial engineering is not the most well-known engineering discipline, it is the most diverse amongst the many professional engineering fields of study.


What Is Industrial Engineering?

What makes industrial engineering such a broad field is that its goal is to optimize processes and systems by finding ways to save time, money, energy, and materials across a range of industries. This is done by leading the implementation of business strategies, such as 5S, Lean, Supply Chain Management, and Six Sigma.
It is often said that the goal of industrial engineering is to take what other engineers have done and make it better. Industrial engineers can be found in almost every industry: manufacturing, logistics, entertainment, hospitality, service, healthcare, energy, and aerospace, to name a few. Within each of these industries, industrial engineers may find themselves working on a variety of projects, such as:
  • Making wait times shorter for rides at Walt Disney World to increase guest satisfaction
  • Optimizing the nursing staff levels at a hospital to improve patient care
  • Streamlining the manufacturing processes of automobiles at Ford to make cars more affordable
  • Simplifying a supply chain for UPS so deliveries can be made more expediently
  • Leading a team of engineers to design new equipment for NASA
  • Improving the quality of your favorite candy bar at Hershey to increase customer satisfaction
  • Performing energy audits to enable more companies to go green to save money – and our planet
  • Consulting and training people to use the latest technology to improve operations
  • Designing safer and more ergonomic ways to work on the factory floor at a manufacturing plant

Industrial Engineering Jobs

Industrial engineering can entail a wide variety of things, so it is difficult to pinpoint exactly what to expect on the job or even what is fair compensation. Here are some job profiles that will give you an idea of how varied this profession can be:

Healthcare Management Engineer
The healthcare industry is a very interesting and exciting area where industrial engineers play an integral role. Often called “management engineers” as opposed to industrial engineers, these professionals act as internal or external consultants to hospitals and other healthcare systems. Their main role is to be problem solvers who have a well-established understanding of the industry.
Projects can include everything from determining staffing levels to implementing new technology to streamlining office processes. While pay is competitive with other industries, expect a lower-than-average salary if you are working for a nonprofit.

Lean Coordinator
“Lean” is a popular business practice of reducing waste so that what you are left with are only value-adding processes and activities. Lean coordinators are found in all types of industries, but most commonly in manufacturing.
Duties include lean training and various lean implementation tasks related to process improvement, cost reduction, and workplace organization. A lean coordinator identifies areas for improvement, and then leads a team in making improvements. For example, a lean coordinator may notice a bottleneck in part of the production line due to a cluttered environment; the lean coordinator would then plan a more effective layout and implement the idea.

Theme Park Industrial Engineer
Industrial engineers generally work in theme parks as internal consultants. Much like other industrial engineers, these engineers are asked to assist in solving issues and streamlining processes.
One aspect of industrial engineering in a theme park is being part of the development of a new product or attraction. For those types of projects, industrial engineers are consulted to determine the best process for launching the product or the best way to take a guest through the attraction.
Another important aspect of industrial engineering is understanding and analyzing guest flow to better balance the guest population throughout the park.

Supply Chain Solutions Engineer
These industrial engineers are quickly growing in numbers, as companies understand how valuable they are to save money. Their focus is to determine the best way to arrange people, organizations, information, technology, and activities to move a product or service from the supplier to the customer. To do this, supply chain solution engineers must analyze costs, processes, materials, and technology to determine the logistics to maximize profits and customer satisfaction. For industrial engineers just getting started in their careers, this is an ideal area because it is growing and in high demand.

Quality Assurance Engineer
Quality assurance engineers are found in almost every manufacturing industry, and their main task is to ensure that products are consistently high quality. Quality engineers’ objectives are to determine the level of quality, what areas of a process are disrupting quality, and how to resolve those quality issues. An engineer must do all these things through audits to make sure the process is standardized and low-cost. Some quality issues that these engineers concern themselves with include strength of a product and product life cycle.

Project Managers
Many industrial engineers of all types eventually find themselves in the position of project manager. As project managers, industrial engineers are in charge of coordinating a team to accomplish a set of objectives.
The project manager will assign responsibilities to team members and monitor the project’s progress. It is also the project manager’s responsibility to act as a problem solver. Industrial engineers make excellent project managers since they possess an understanding of many different engineering disciplines, and tend to have good leadership and people skills.


How to Become an Industrial Engineer

To attain one of the jobs discussed above, you must first have a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering. It is not necessary to get a master’s degree, as it is not required for most entry-level positions. Plus, many industrial engineers pursue an MBA degree as opposed to a master’s degree once they are in the work force.
Depending on where you go to school, the learning emphasis may be on different aspects of the field, but the general education should be the same. For example, many Midwest schools place more focus on manufacturing than Southern schools, as many Midwest industrial engineering jobs are in the manufacturing industry.


Reasons to Consider Majoring in Industrial Engineering

Besides playing an important role in giving companies a competitive edge, industrial engineering can be exciting and rewarding.

1. The Field Is Broad
Industrial engineering is an exceptionally broad field, which means you will not be stuck doing the same thing day-in and day-out for the next 30 to 40 years. Besides being able to switch roles within an industry, you can try out a different industry if you desire a change.
For instance, if you start your career in manufacturing but decide later that your real passion is healthcare, there is certainly a place for you in the healthcare industry. If you are working on streamlining processes, but find your real talent lies in working with people, you’ll fit right into a position within project management.

2. Pay Is Exceptional
Currently, the average starting salary of an entry-level industrial engineer is between $55,000 and $65,000. Furthermore, your salary will continue to rise throughout your years of employment. The average salary of industrial engineers as of May 2010 was $78,450, with the top 10% earning more than $112,000 a year. Even the lowest 10% earn close to $50,000, which is above the $44,410 average salary of all occupations.

3. Career Offers Movement
Once an industrial engineer gets some experience, it is not uncommon to be promoted to a managerial position. In fact, for someone whose ultimate goal is to get into management, industrial engineering offers a quick and easy pathway.
While industrial engineers receive similar business training as business students, they have a leg up due to their additional math, science, and technology training. Furthermore, industrial engineers often complete summer internships, which also make them more marketable and desirable to employers, and they also frequently minor in business administration or sales to complement their major. Many industrial engineers round out their education by earning an MBA, either directly after their bachelor’s degree or after a few years of experience.

4. Demand Is High
Due to the wide range of services that industrial engineers provide, it only makes sense that the number of available jobs would continue to grow. With so many businesses looking to cut costs, the hiring of an industrial engineer pays for itself, thus making it a great career field for the future.
With nearly 203,000 employed in this field mid-2010, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics expects this number to continue to grow at a rate of 14% over the next decade – faster than the average of all other occupations. Regardless of the overall state of the economy, companies will always have a need for industrial engineers to continually help reduce costs and improve processes.


Is Industrial Engineering Right for You?

Industrial engineering is a suitable career for anyone who enjoys problem solving and finding not just any solution, but the best one. Math, science, statistics, and programming skills are heavily emphasized, so it is important to excel in these areas. Industrial engineering also suits those who like to think outside of the box and use their creativity. Initiative, leadership skills, discipline, diligence, and people skills all make an industrial engineer successful.
On the other hand, if your math and science abilities are lacking or you are uninterested in those subjects, industrial engineering is probably not for you. If you lack attention to detail, you may also find this career to be out of your comfort zone. Furthermore, if you do not desire to hold a leadership or management role, you may fail to grow in your career, as many industrial engineers eventually get promoted to such positions.


Final Word

To major in industrial engineering is to get an education that you will likely not regret. Not only will you receive a well-rounded foundation in math, science, business, and technology, you’ll be entering a career field that is ever-changing and never boring. You’ll solve puzzles to save your company money while improving efficiency, productivity, and quality.
