General Introduction.
1.- Talk to your classmates and define: What is Industrial or Telematics Engineering? (Think about the meaning of the word itself, history or examples) Industrial and Telematics Engineering is about:____________________________________________________________

____________ ____________________________________________________________

____________ ____________________________________________________________

____________ ____________________________________________________________

___________. Share your ideas. And choose one definition from the whole classroom.

2.- Check thefollowing definitions, and check if your ideas were similar.
a) The branch of engineering that is concerned with the efficient production of industrial goods as affected by elements such as plant and procedural design, the management of materials and energy, and the integration of workers within the overall system.

b) A branch of engineering dealing with the design, development, and implementationof integrated systems of humans, machines, and information resources to provide products and services. Industrial engineering encompasses specialized knowledge and skills in the physical, social, engineering, and management sciences, such as human and cognitive sciences, computer systems and information technologies, manufacturing processes, operations research, production, and automation.

c)This Engineering arose from the joint development of Informatics

(Information Science) and Telecommunications. These two areas developed in a rather independent way, until the invention of computer networks some 20 years ago. This event led to the union of Telecommunications and Informatics, giving birth to Telematics. He / she is above all, a scientist: A person capable of investigation, whichfinds original solutions to problems and learns on his own. He has solid knowledge in the areas of telecommunications and informatics, which permit the understanding of problems which he encounters. This Engineer must stay up-to-date with technological advances.
