The Industrial & Systems Engineering program is a combination of Industrial Engineering & Systems Engineering. Industrial engineering is concerned with design, improvement and implementation of integrated processes of people, information, materials, management and equipment. Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary and structured approach to designing and deploying successful systems to blend engineering, systems thinking, and management topics.

Program Educational Objectives
Program educational objectives are broad statements that describe career and professional accomplishments that the program prepares graduates to achieve during the first few years following graduation. Graduates of industrial & systems engineeringwill:
- Demonstrate a balance of industrial and systems engineering knowledge to meet industry expectations for design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, machines, materials, information, energy, and logistics.
- Practice critical thinking to solve problems, communicate effectively, and adapt to changes.
- Apply acquired knowledge and skills to lifelong learning and continued professional development.
-
Student Outcomes
Student outcomes describe the knowledge and skills acquired by students who complete the program. Students completing the program will have:
- an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
- an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
- an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
- an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
- an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
- an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
