Industrial and Systems Engineering B.I.Sy.E.

Industrial and systems engineering focuses on the design, planning, and management of complex, large-scale systems such as global supply chains, healthcare delivery systems, financial services systems, and other critical business infrastructures.

The Bachelor of Industrial and Systems Engineering curriculum emphasizes the fundamentals of analytics and management to support the modeling, design, and optimization of systems across a wide range of applications and domains. Students learn the skills and tools necessary to succeed across a broad range of industry, nonprofit and government settings.

All students are required to take a core set of courses that together ensure a strong foundation in the fundamentals of industrial and systems engineering. Each student also customizes a technical elective course plan to prepare them for the career path that most interests them. Student's chosen electives can result in a minor or emphasis in one of a number of fields, such as financial services, manufacturing and service operations, supply chain management, and healthcare operations.

All students complete a final capstone project that provides them with real-world experience by collaborating with a sponsoring company or organization. Students work in teams and receive guidance from a faculty advisor and industry mentor for 15 weeks during their senior year. This capstone project provides students with hands-on experience and proof of their abilities as they prepare to launch their career.
