Bits of IE from IE Professors
At the end of my short-lived stint sa IEmm, I was taught more by my underclassmen. They continued the work even after I left them. They’re good and committed people.

I hope more people will aim to help today’s industries and its stakeholders through the publication’s journalism.

How does being an IE affect your life views? Critical-thinking and problem solving skills are some of the important abilities that Industrial Engineering profession helps to develop.
