Industrial and Systems Engineering (BS)

We live in a complex society, but in the Department of Systems Science and Industrial Engineering, we do our best to make it less complicated. That's exactly what we do — we study complex systems and look for simplifying solutions.

We work across all environments and fields of study including manufacturing, management, service industries, healthcare systems, and others. So, our time could be spent at a hospital developing ways to decrease wait times in emergency rooms, or you might find us in a manufacturing facility working on quality assurance issues or consulting.
