Whether improving the production of automobiles to iPads, optimizing the transportation of goods across the country and the world, keeping theme park crowds flowing, or helping hospitals distribute their pharmaceuticals and scheduling their operating and emergency rooms, the work of industrial and systems engineers affects the many processes and environments you encounter every day. Companies large and small are driving a growing demand for experts in designing and improving supply chains and manufacturing, transportation and user systems in every sector of the economy.
The state of Ohio is “home to the nation’s third-largest manufacturing workforce and a $117.9 billion industry,” says JobOhio. Yes, the state has a strong legacy of manufacturing, but it’s also at the forefront of reindustrialization built around advanced manufacturing.
“Ohio’s collaborative ecosystem — spanning industry, academia, government, and a pipeline of world-class talent — has fueled breakthroughs across aerospace, defense, technology, healthcare, food and more. In Ohio, the future of additive manufacturing isn’t just inevitable, it’s already here,” according to JobsOhio.
Have you heard about the Ohio Discovery Corridor? It runs from Cincinnati, through Columbus to Cleveland.
“This is the place where life sciences research and technology companies are coming together to grow, thrive, and change people’s lives for the better,” according to JobsOhio.
Did you know that “Ohio is within a 2-hour flight of most major U.S. cities, making it the perfect place to maximize efficiency while reducing travel time and costs,” according to JobsOhio. “Driven by its strategic location and world-class infrastructure, Ohio is a premier hub for business.”
Industrial and system engineers often work to keep the nation’s supply chair moving -- in distribution centers, information systems, hospitals, transportation networks, and more.
