The Industrial and Enterprise Systems Engineering Department at The Grainger College of Engineering is commemorating its 100th anniversary! Over the past 100 years, ISE has gone from an engineering drawing program to a prominent leader in industrial and systems engineering education and research.

We invite students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends to celebrate this significant milestone at our Centennial Celebration Weekend on May 3-4, 2024. Reconnect with former classmates, professors and colleagues, participate in symposium discussions, and honor this year's distinguished alumni award recipients. This is a unique opportunity to reminisce about your time at Illinois, witness how the department has evolved over the past century and learn about its future trajectory.

Whether you graduated recently or experienced our department's earliest days, this unforgettable weekend celebrates the full century of ISE. We hope to see you there!
