ABOUT THE UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM

Photo of Professor Writing on Whiteboard Since being established in 1924, the undergraduate program in the Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE) has grown to one of distinction. U.S. News and World Report ranks the program #1. 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). As an undergraduate in ISyE, you will take the traditional coursework in mathematics and the engineering sciences that is common to all of the various engineering disciplines. Following this, you are exposed to coursework reflecting the numerous specializations that comprise our field. Included are courses in mathematical optimization, probability and stochastic systems, statistics, computing, economic and financial modeling, logistics, production systems, and others.
