Industrial and Systems Engineering, B.S.
Overview
Our students improve systems across all industries, including defense, aviation, manufacturing, and health care. We ensure these systems operate at top efficiency and safety. We combine broad engineering skills with behavioral science to graduate students ready to tackle even the most complex system challenges.
In our program, personalized counseling and informal relationships are commonplace between students and professors. Classes are typically small, averaging 15 students, allowing for close interaction between students and professors.
Our graduates, put simply, make things better whether its reducing wait times at amusement parks, building a superior car, ensuring the mail arrives on time or the operating room procedures are streamlined.
