Can listing your degree name differently cause problems?

I’m finishing an Industrial Engineering master with most of its focus on ML: neural networks thesis, stats, data science, AI.

Problem is, IE on a resume makes people think manufacturing, and I’m worried recruiters will stop reading at the degree name, before they get to my actual projects/thesis.

My transcript just says “Industrial Engineering” with no specialization. Would it be problematic during interviews, if on my resume I write just “Engineering” or something?
