In the Department of Systems and Industrial Engineering (SIE) it is our mission to prepare students with the knowledge and skills they need to design, model, analyze and manage modern complex systems. Our courses, laboratories, projects and seminars prepare students for rewarding engineering careers and life-long learning.

Furthermore, our goals are to:

• Provide high quality education, and a basis for lifelong learning of the engineering and scientific knowledge required for analysis, design, improvement, and evaluation of integrated systems of people, computers, material, and equipment - as embodied in the disciplines of industrial engineering, operations research, systems engineering, and like fields.
• Lead in research in key areas within the discipline, with particular relevance to systems of strategic importance to the state and the nation such as manufacturing, telecommunications, transportation, health-care, service, and environmental systems.
• Provide professional service and academic leadership in the disciplines of the Systems and Industrial Engineering Department, within the university, industries, governmental agencies, private and public organizations, and professional societies.
