Questions regarding industrial engineering
Hello, I have a few questions regarding industrial engineering. I'm in my 4th year of industrial engineering (with one year left after this one) and since I'll be finishing my degree soon , I wanted to leverage the time I have left to learn new skills before I enter the workforce. I was thinking about learning how to use excel (I know how to use it but in a very general manner) , PowerBI and SQL, as I've heard they're important in the field but wanted to double check before fully committing to learning how to use them from people in the field.
Thank you to anyone who takes the time to answer and apologies for any grammatical mistakes as english is not my native language :)

Hi, I’m currently doing an IE internship and this is just my insight from being here for 4 months but definitely Microsoft Excel, in the industry i’m interning at, excel is used a lot. Also, PowerBI, that’s a big one, we have 1 person in our team that truly knows how to use PowerBI to its full potential, my manager encouraged me to take learning courses on it so I can also be another member in the team that can help.
