Industrial Engineering & Management
Entire occupations that had been previously unattractive and declining, such as petroleum engineering in the 1980s and 1990s, have quite all of a sudden turn out to be enticing and high-paid—due to elevated energy prices and new technologies for home extraction of oil and fuel. Others, corresponding to those linked to manufacturing and construction—industries in which properly over half of all engineers are employed—have declined over the same period. Biomedical Ph.D.s are unusually prolonged and infrequently require additional years of postdoctoral coaching, but after completion those with such degrees experience labor market demand and remuneration that are comparatively low. In the late 20th and early twenty first centuries the field of environmental engineering expanded to address global warming and sustainability. Yang Lin, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, is implementing acoustofluidics to control particles as tiny as one micron. His analysis could assist establ
