I'd like to point out John Foley, the founder of Peloton, is an industrial engineer himself. For making a physical product, it's a great background to start with. Lots of analogs to great programmers in terms of when to optimize what, and how. Manufacturing process selection, optimal batch size, make vs buy, accounting for supply chain uncertainty, profitability analysis, etc.
