Research

The 21st century finds us in a radically networked world that combines technology, people, and economics. Dramatically increased systems complexity, large numbers of actors and agents and vast numbers of interfaces, challenge engineers to master multiple disciplines and perspectives, ranging across design, operations, and decision making, from the qualitative to the quantitative.

The Department of Industrial and Enterprise Systems Engineering is committed to developing and integrating the knowledge and tools necessary to create an engineering discipline of complex systems. This discipline borrows heavily from traditional engineering knowledge in industrial engineering, systems engineering, operations research, and computation; it couples these with insights drawn from economics, policy, business, social science, and mathematics.
