Industrial Engineering has expanded from its roots in designing and improving manufacturing systems to include service systems — whether in transportation, logistics, financial, telecom, energy, or healthcare sectors. Lehigh’s department of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE), one of the most highly regarded in the U.S., has led much of this transformation.

Industrial Engineering students at Lehigh benefit from ISE’s strong interaction with industry, particularly through a well-established capstone senior design course where student teams work on real industry projects with companies large and small. State-of-the-art lab facilities across campus allow Industrial Engineering students to become familiar with advances in their field in computing, electronics, manufacturing, robotics and automation, and manufacturing technology.

ISE professors have published well-recognized research in logistics, engineering economy, optimization, and operations research. Others have written the best-known textbooks on manufacturing processes, automation, robotics, and production systems. Professors and students alike have won dozens of prestigious awards from the Institute of Industrial Engineers, the field’s premier professional organization.

ISE faculty maintain an active global presence, serving on international boards of professional societies and collaborating with researchers in Europe, Asia, and Australia. The department has strong ties with other leading universities in graduate research and education.
