    Information engineering is a family of data-oriented analysis IE integrates tools, techniques, and methodologies for
    and techniques used to design, develop, and maintain developing information systems. It enables the design,
    information systems which support strategic missions, decision construction, and operation of efficient and economic
    processes, and daily operations of a company. It is often information systems for modern business practices. It will

    depend on information. Such systems include health care
    systems, CAD/CAM, air traffic control, hotel/airline
    reservation, telecommunications, banking/ATM, computing,
    geographical information system (GIS), and biotechnology [1].
    Although information is an elusive stuff, engineers find ways to
    handle it.
    Information engineering (IE) is the application of science and
    technology in developing quality information systems, which
    are computer-based infrastructures that collect, process, store,
    and act on information. It is the incorporation of an engineering
    approach to the generation of information and the promotion of
    the better use of information and resources. IE focuses on the
    generation, distribution, processing, and use of information in
    engineering systems including image processing, machine
    vision, pattern recognition and computer graphics. It combines
    the traditional computer science with engineering. It has become
    the methodology of choice for developing management
