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 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 in Industrial Engineering is
accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET,
https://www.abet.org, under the commission's General Criteria and Program
Criteria for Industrial Engineering.
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.
