A message from the Department of Industrial and Enterprise Systems Engineering

In the Department of Industrial and Enterprise Systems Engineering, we take great pride in the impact our community continues to make at the intersection of data-driven decision making, computational modeling and human-centered design. Our students, alumni, faculty and staff are driving innovation — in the classroom, in research and across industry —creating real-world impacts in healthcare, sustainability, manufacturing, finance and beyond.

This program recognizes the outstanding achievements of individuals who exemplify that impact. We are proud to celebrate recipients of the ISE Distinguished Alumni Awards, honor exceptional undergraduate and graduate students, highlight awardees from the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE), and acknowledge the graduating class as they prepare to embark on the next stage of their journey.

We are also deeply grateful for the generosity of our alumni and donors, whose support enables the educational excellence and transformative work that define ISE. Together, these accomplishments reflect the strength, purpose and momentum of our department. On behalf of the faculty and staff, congratulations to all honorees!
