Mission Statement

 
 

We prepare students for successful life-long careers and provide leadership in industry and our profession through our research and educational programs. To accomplish this mission, we:

Educate students at the undergraduate level to be engineers who can design, analyze, and improve systems that produce goods and services.

Educate students at the graduate level to become leaders in the application of industrial and manufacturing systems engineering skills and tools and lead the quest to advance the state-of-the-art in IMSE disciplines.

Perform research in our discipline that is both of fundamental importance and of value to industry, our profession, and society as a whole.

Serve our institution, community, and profession by using our skills and time to advance their missions.
