Mechanical vs Industrial Engineering : Which is BETTER?

A lot of students struggle to choose the "right" engineering major because of many factors. Common ones include the following:
1. You have yet to discover what you like and dislike.
2. There are so many disciplines that overlap and are difficult to understand without the necessary resources and guidance.
3. Your interests lie in a plethora of areas i.e. both mechanical or chemical engineering.
4. You are worried about things like job security, salary, etc.

The goal is to help anyone who is having trouble deciding between two very attractive majors - MECHANICAL and INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING - and who wants to learn more about these two disciplines.

An Industrial Engineering Degree + an MBA is a killer combo and you're almost guaranteed to become rich

[alexchen]

One of the most comprehensive videos I've seen on Youtube for industrial engineering. My school didn't offer industrial engineering, so I went with mechanical, but I always wondered if they were the same thing. Your explanation was clear-cut and to the point👍

[stephena]

You are so close to 1k subs and definitely deserve more. Your content is lit and high school/1st year university students considering engineering need to watch this 🔥

[mohiazimi]

im an ongoing industrial engineer with a focus on mechanical engineering, great vid

[Pakste]

I have bachelor in mechanical engineering and masters at industrial engineering. Now Im car mechanic.
