Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE) applies basic engineering skills, specialized analysis techniques and an understanding of machine interaction to design, evaluate and improve the performance of systems. Some say industrial and systems engineers are "people engineers," because of the close relationship between ISyE methods and effective business operations. A Master’s degree in Industrial and System Engineering explores and teaches analytics, optimization, and high-performance computing to give students the tools to solve a number of complex industrial challenges in areas such as manufacturing, production, healthcare, financial services, transportation, technology, aerospace, and supply chain management. It is the most wide-ranging engineering discipline in terms of career options.
