What is B.Tech Industrial & Production Engineering?

B.Tech Industrial & Production Engineering is a branch of engineering that deals with the study to develop, improve, implement, and evaluate the integrated systems of people, money, knowledge, equipment, information, material, energy, and the entire industrial process.

The objective of the course is to enable engineers to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of manufacturing and service sector industries. The curriculum includes basic Mechanical Engineering subjects to make graduates compatible with the existing and emerging needs of the industry.

Those who have done B.Tech Industrial & Production Engineering would be able to understand existing technological trends and new technology to the existing system. Most leading manufacturing houses look out of engineers specialised in industrial production in order to reduce cost, increase efficiency, and make their products marketable in today’s fast-paced world.

Who should opt for B.Tech in Industrial & Production Engineering?

• Anyone who wants to learn about mechanics, thermodynamics, and other mechanics related subjects must go for this course. Moreover, it’s also suitable for someone who dreams of developing a career in the best software and production industries.
• Applicants must have the ability to access the capability, limitations, and potentials of non-traditional, nano-manufacturing processes and their competitive aspects.
• Besides designing the production process of products, they should be able to do things concerned with planning, controlling, and measuring.

Benefits of B.Tech Industrial & Production Engineering

•  The course is beneficial to describe new developments in processes, materials, and computer integration of both technological and managerial activities in manufacturing organisations. Besides that, they can also be recruited in other organisations like agriculture, banks, wholesale and retail trade, transportation, construction, etc.
•  The B.Tech Industrial & Production Engineering is suitable for design and installation of integrated systems of men and materials, equipment, and processes for increasing productivity of goods, and detailing optimum quality of products.
•  Industrial engineers can even work as plant engineers, manufacturing engineers, process engineers or quality engineers in different industries, management and service sector in the middle management cadre.

B.Tech Industrial & Production Engineering Scope and Career Prospects

Industrial and production engineers use principles of engineering, mass production, and technology to help companies in finding different ways to offer services or create a product efficiently. Industrial engineers work to improve the product through better management and quality control.

The following are some popular job profiles for industrial and production engineers:

Job Profile	Job Description
Plant Engineers	This job profile includes project team management or the planning and execution of an engineering project in a designated area of expertise. Other basic takes of plant engineers are designing manufacturing layouts, evaluating quotes, coordinating equipment selections, and interacting with contractors.
Industrial Designers	Industrial designers develop designs and concepts for manufactured products. They usually specialise in one product category, such as automobiles, furniture or housewares. They must be imaginative and persistent to communicate their ideas about new product design.
Industrial Engineer	Industrial engineers work to eliminate waste of time, money, materials, man-hours, machine time, energy and other resources that do not generate value.
Industrial Manager	Industrial Managers have to look after daily operations of manufacturing and related plants. They coordinate, plan, and direct the activities used to create a wide range of goods, such as cars, computer equipment, or paper products. Almost 80% of industrial production managers work in manufacturing industries.
Manufacturing Engineers	They have to evaluate manufacturing processes by designing and conducting research programs. For that, they need to apply knowledge of product design, assembly, fabrication, tooling, and materials; conferring with equipment vendors; soliciting observations from operators.
Quality Engineers	Quality engineers understand the principles of product and service quality evaluation and control. They work in manufacturing plants and take responsibility for the quality of a company's products.
Product Specialists	Product Specialists help in designing, producing, launching, and advertising their products. They typically specialise in a product that you already know something about.
Design Engineer Industrial Engineering	They typically research and develop ideas and systems for manufacture. They also work to improve the performance and efficiency of existing products.
Project Manager	Project managers have the responsibility of the planning, procurement, and execution of a project, in any domain of engineering. Project managers are contacted first for any issues or discrepancies arising from within the heads of various departments in an organisation before the problem escalates to higher authorities.
