The research was conducted as an online questionnaire survey selecting IE Graduates working in industries as practising engineers. 1,324 participants were validated among 1,477 participants. 13 fields were selected and used in the survey. Those were; 1) Mathematical statistics, 2) Computer, 3) Purchase, 4) Production system, 5) Logistics, 6) Marketing, 7) Monetary, 8) Experiment methods, 9) Operations Research (OR), 10) Human Factors, 11) Quality, 12) Engineering management, and 13) Information systems. Using the 5-scale Likert rating, each education subject was assessed both in terms of its usefulness in practices and the amount it being taught in school. As a result, courses such as motion/time study, linear programming that IE has traditionally focused showed less usefulness in practices while it is taught in relatively large amount in schools. However, courses such as 6 sigma, CRM which are closely related to industrial practices showed high usefulness in practices compared with low degree of teaching in school. This was the first ever large scale survey conducted for IE graduates in Korea. The result of survey displayed many helpful information on current status and future direction of IE education in Korea. 1) Keyword: questionnaire survey, usefulness in practices, amount of education in school, industrial engineering graduates, alumni survey 본 논문은 2005년도 정부(교육인적자원부)의 재원으로 한국학술진흥재단의 지원을 받아 수행된 연구임(KRF-2005-042-D00006). † 연락저자 : 이덕주 교수, 446-701 경기도 용인시 기흥구 서천동 1 경희대학교 테크노공학대학, Fax : 031-203-4004, E-mail : ldj@khu.ac.kr 2006년 11월 접수, 1회 수정 후 2007년 01월 게재확정.
