I don't want to be "that guy", but Industrial Engineering is considered the glorified business major, not really useful, unless you specialize into some type of engineering related field along with it. In fact, some people think is the perfect complement along with another engineering. I had a friend who studied it and couldn't find a job. He specialized in petroleum engineering and his lowest job offer (for those who want a corporate job) was $100,000.00 a year, which is peanuts in the oil industry. Again, think hard before you do it, just keeping it real.
but let's say you combine an undergrad ME/EE degree with a grad IE degree? Does that make you more marketable to a significant extent?
I find that a masters degree opens a lot of doors.
