These are engineering student projects that are a comprehensive application of the subject matter in the Industrial & Systems Engineering curriculum. The general intent of the project is to demonstrate the students’ knowledge of the integrative aspects of the systems engineering process. These projects have been formally presented before industrial and academic experts.

The Industrial & Systems Engineering program is a combination of Industrial Engineering & Systems Engineering.  Industrial engineering is concerned with design, improvement and implementation of integrated processes of people, processes, information, materials, management and equipment.  IE's draw upon specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical, physical, and social sciences combined with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design, to specify, predict, and evaluate processes and systems.

Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary and structured approach to designing and deploying successful systems to blends engineering, systems thinking, and management topics. Systems engineering deals with work-processes, optimization methods, and risk management tools while ensuring that all likely aspects of a project or system are considered, and integrated into a whole.
