WHO WE ARE
The Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering (ISE) at the University of Florida is a leader in delivering cutting-edge education and pioneering research across diverse areas. Founded in 1965 based on years of coursework with a focus in engineering and management, the department has consistently expanded its teaching and research missions to include other areas of ISE, such as optimization, information systems, and supply chain and logistics systems. Department excellence in these areas has allowed for recruiting of outstanding faculty and students who have enhanced the existing curriculum and made major research contributions. Today, the department is highly ranked among public universities, and is creating new research concentration areas in data analytics and human systems, as well as developing new laboratories to support student hands-on learning and world-class research. The program is ABET-accredited and offers bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate degrees in ISE.
