ABOUT THE UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM
The industrial engineering program was established in 1924 and became a school in 1945. It was named the Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE) in 2006. U.S. News and World Report has ranked the program #1 since 1991. In addition, it is the largest program in the U.S. with over 1000 undergraduate students and over 11000 alumni. One of the key reasons for the high rankings is a "world-class" faculty.
We define Industrial Engineering as "the branch of engineering that engages in the study of how to describe, evaluate, design, modify, control and improve the performance of complex systems, viewed over time and within their relative context." The key notion is systems and includes supply chain systems, financial systems, and health systems, among others.
Students completing the undergraduate degree requirements receive the Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering (BSIE). The B.S. in Industrial Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.
