Who are Industrial and Systems Engineers?
Industrial and Systems Engineers analyze existing processes and systems to improve quality and productivity. We make significant contributions to employers by reducing costs, increasing productivity, and improving work conditions. Our skills are transferable to a wide range of industries including, but not limited to: healthcare, airline, and government.
According to their website, the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers is recognized internationally as:

The Culture at San Jose State University
Course Curriculum
The Bachelor of Science, Industrial and Systems Engineering degree path prepares students for a broad scope of systems analyses and design challenges that improve the overall performance of an organization or a system. The curriculum allows students to become familiar with, both, the engineering aspect and the business aspect of real-world problems. Industrial and Systems Engineering bridges the gap between management and operations by applying tools (e.g. Six Sigma principles, lean manufacturing processes, organizational development, continuous improvement, ergonomics, and human factors). The meaning of life to an Industrial and Systems Engineer is to ensure that the organization’s systems and processes are efficient, productive, and safe. Thus, the curriculum at San Jose State University focuses on Engineering Management, Math Modeling, Human Components, Quality Control, and Enterprise Operations. Visit the ISE department's page to learn more about the program!
Student Organization
The Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers' Student Chapter 806 aims to facilitate communication between students and the ISE department, expose industrial engineering to local students, and connect members to industry.
