What Is an Industrial Systems Engineer?
Industrial systems engineers use the materials, machinery, people and facilities they have at their disposal to achieve engineering goals like manufacturing reliable products and managing capital. They use process, control, management and manufacturing techniques. In U of R's industrial systems engineering graduate programs, you’ll learn to analyze and optimize industrial systems using analytics and mathematics.
