Hi,

I am currently pursuing my MS in Software Engineering. I am considering the option of doing a part time programme in Industrial Engineering as most of the courses (Operations Research, Accountancy, Business Process etc) are those that I do not have any knowledge in. Is there a requirement in the industry for people with such qualifications?

My long term career goal is to manage software projects that enable clients to increase productivity.
