Industrial & Systems Engineering
Our program is a rich educational experience that provides students with a broad engineering education along with specialization in a wide range of industrial engineering and manufacturing fields. Students have the opportunity for hands-on research in areas that include healthcare, energy, manufacturing, finance, transportation, and more.
Program Overview
Do you wonder how things work? Do you look at something and think of ways to improve it? Do you think about how to make every day processes more efficient, easier to use, or cheaper? If you do, industrial and systems engineering may be the field for you.
With its focus on reliability engineering, advanced manufacturing, and smart systems, the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Rutgers prepares the next generation of engineers and technology leaders. An emphasis on combining classroom and laboratory learning with hands-on practical and pre-professional training through numerous research and internship opportunities gives students the experience they need to make safer, cost-effective, and energy efficient products and services.
Students can choose from track options focused on financial engineering, artificial intelligence in industry, quality and reliability engineering, or manufacturing engineering. The program prepares students for careers designing and analyzing the large systems that serve industry, government, and service sectors. Industrial engineers can be found in careers spanning manufacturing, aerospace, and banking to healthcare, energy, and the military.
