Construction Managers plan and manage the implementation of construction projects. This includes developing the job plans (how work will be done) from architectural and engineering drawings & requirements; estimating the labor and materials needed for each step, developing cost estimates and bids, scheduling the project work, and managing the actual work to ensure it proceeds on time, within budget, and of high quality. Construction Managers are also always looking to implement new construction techniquesto improve the total quality and cost effectiveness of the nation's construction industry for the purpose of providing a competitive advantage.

Industrial Engineers apply engineering design to creating (& improving) systems that deliver products or services. For instance, an IE may be involved in designing a new production plant for a car manufacturer (a product), or in designing an effective emergency room for a hospital (a service). In designing these systems, an Industrial Engineer integrates equipment, materials, energy, information, and people together to meet business objectives, while insuring product/service quality and reliability, the safety and satisfaction of customers and employees, and the effective and productive use of resources.

Demand for IE graduates is high, and over the past 3 years nearly 100% of our graduates had at least one job offer prior to graduation, and many have multiple offers. The 2009 salary range for IE graduates from LSU was $52-65K/year for BS (with an average of $58K), $65-80K for MS. Click here to learn more about IE.
