ISE Undergraduate Program Mission

The Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) has three primary objectives relating to its academic mission:

To provide the highest quality education in order to prepare undergraduate and graduate students for a life-long experience in the rapidly changing field of industrial engineering and future leadership roles in the profession, in business, and in industry
To conduct research toward advancing the frontiers of industrial engineering, supporting the industrial and economic growth of Virginia and the nation, and providing faculty with the latest knowledge and techniques for dissemination in the classroom
To serve the industrial engineering profession, industry, and society.

The mission of the ISE undergraduate program is to prepare industrial and systems engineering students to create value for organizations, the profession, and society. We achieve this mission by recruiting, retaining, and educating students from a wide background.

We create a rigorous and collegial environment enabling students to learn industrial engineering methods and tools, built upon a foundation of mathematical, physical, and engineering sciences, and apply them in any global organizational setting. Students achieve academic and professional success through various educational opportunities, allowing them to develop as future leaders and embark on a lifelong journey of professional development and learning.
