  • Shaping the profession of Industrial Engineers
  • Learn and share best practices
  • Network with IE professionals representing; Universities, public and private organizations
  • Making the IE field locally and globally recognized

We will have plant tours, workshops, conferences, webinars, networking opportunities, support to your certifications, student paper competitions, and team projects where you can learn, apply or share your knowledge.

Welcome to the 2012! I look forward to meeting each and every one of you in our professional meetings and I am very much looking forward to serving you this year. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing organization and truly excited about our activities this year and your involvement with IIE Los Angeles.
