Field of Study



In today's complex and competitive world, industrial engineers are in great demand to design, improve, and operate integrated systems of people, materials, equipment, and energy. The industrial and systems engineering (ISE) discipline applies fundamentals from the mathematical, physical, and engineering sciences to efficiently design and analyze large systems that serve industry and government both in manufacturing and service sectors. The bachelor of science program in industrial engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. The undergraduate industrial and systems engineering program at Rutgers provides students with a broad engineering education along with specialization in the industrial engineering and manufacturing fields. We believe that a broad education is necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global/societal context. Academic strength in mathematics, physics, and basic engineering science is required. Specialization is offered in mathematical modeling, quality engineering and statistical techniques, computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing, simulation, manufacturing processes, engineering economics, production planning and control, design of engineering systems and information technology. Students have access to state-of-the-art laboratory facilities where hands-on instruction is emphasized in robotics, machine vision, manufacturing, automated material handling, quality engineering, electronic and sensor devices, simulation, and computer information systems.

The undergraduate program focuses on classroom instruction fostered by learning in multidisciplinary project-teams. These teams frequently formulate and find engineering solutions to real-world industry problems. The ability to communicate effectively is emphasized by having students provide both oral and written reports.

ISE graduates work in a number of areas including electronic, pharmaceutical, and other manufacturing; health services, transportation, distribution, and communication; and computers, finance, marketing, and management. Students pursue graduate studies in engineering and in management at leading institutions.

The ISE faculty are dedicated to excellence in teaching, research, and professional service. They bring experience, real-life industrial problems, and enthusiasm to the classroom, setting a standard for students to follow in their professional careers.
