Department focus
Improve the whole system, not one part.
IEM combines engineering analysis, management judgment, human factors, and operational decision-making.
Industrial engineers design and improve systems where technical choices, human needs, resources, and organizational goals meet.
The department's educational mission emphasizes leadership, ethical decision-making, business context, graduate preparation, and service.
- Operations, logistics, optimization, and decision systems
- Engineering management, projects, and technology
- Human factors, design, and organizational performance
Research
Better decisions across complex systems.
IEM research connects optimization, human factors, logistics, design, projects, operations, supply chains, and stochastic systems.
Optimization
Simulation and optimization
Mathematical modeling, simulation, stochastic processes, queuing, and optimization for difficult decisions.
Human systems
Ergonomics and occupational biomechanics
Research on human performance, physical work, safety, usability, and the design of better work systems.
Flow and resilience
Supply chains and humanitarian logistics
Planning inventory, transport, supply networks, and relief operations under uncertainty.
Design
Engineering design and human-computer interaction
Designing products, services, interfaces, and systems around human needs and behavior.
Delivery
Projects and product development
Research on project management, product development, technology decisions, and organizational execution.
Operations
Retail and service systems
Operations research for retail, services, capacity, demand, and customer-facing systems.
