The first reason: in the environment of intelligent manufacturing, the demand for industrial engineering professionals has increased, and they are indispensable talents. Without industrial engineers, the transformation of intelligent manufacturing is basically completed. Large enterprises basically have industrial engineering departments or similar functional departments.

The second reason: for students at this level of Fujian Institute of Technology, they are basically in a regional competitive environment, that is to say, they compete in the province and generally do not compete with other provinces. Then the competing schools are nothing more than seven or eight universities in Fujian. At present, under the circumstance of serious involution of various majors, students majoring in industrial engineering are not only in a low competitive environment because of their low professional awareness, but also have a hot demand for employment because of increased demand. Therefore, students majoring in industrial engineering in Fujian do not get high marks in the college entrance examination, but their employment salary is relatively high, so it is a major with relatively high cost performance.

The third reason: industrial engineering is an interdisciplinary subject. The students majoring in industrial engineering have the theories and methods of economy, management and system engineering, and have solid professional engineering skills. They are senior professional technical and management talents engaged in industrial engineering and management, and their careers after employment are relatively clear, and the road to rise is also relatively clear.

By the end of 2022, the salaries of newly graduated students and graduates majoring in industrial engineering in Fujian in 2022 will be about 5,000-7,000 yuan. The salary of students majoring in industrial engineering with about three years' working experience can reach 8000- 10000 (average).

This salary level is not high as a whole, but it is not low. It can't be compared with the hottest major, but because there are fewer people studying industrial engineering, the data is closer to reality.

The courses of industrial engineering major are rich, which requires students to be truly talented and have practical ability. Best wishes.
