[Iefac.list] ASEE Publishes Newly Expanded Engineering: Go For It!

[elsayed]

Greetings

Lary and Deji ...
We can easily correct this.   I believe that several of us should 
send email to the contact person to make the correction.  Here what I sent:


It seems  that you inadvertently overlooked one of the five  largest 
engineering disciplines: industrial engineering.  Please check ASEE 
magazine recent issues for the number of BS and graduate degrees 
awarded in Industrial Engineering.  Please make  the proper correction.

Thank you
