Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering
Head: Dr. Kari Babski-Reeves
Undergraduate Coordinator: Dr. Brian Smith
Office: 260 McCain Engineering Building
Industrial and systems engineering (ISE) is the application of engineering methods and the principles of scientific management to the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, information, equipment, and energy. The industrial and systems engineer is concerned with the design of total systems, and is the leader in the drive for increased productivity and quality improvement.
The ISE profession uses a variety of specialized knowledge and skills. These include communications, economics, mathematics, physical and social sciences, together with the methods of engineering analysis and design.
The ISE is often involved in designing or improving major systems that encompass the total organization. Consequently, he/she is often in contact with individuals from many segments of the organization. From his/her education and these experiences, the ISE develops a global view of the many inter-related operations necessary to deliver a firm’s goods and services. Because of their management skills and global view of the organization, a large proportion of ISEs move into management, and later advance into top management positions.
Although ISE is especially important to all segments of industry, it is also applied in other types of organizations, such as transportation, health care, public utilities, agriculture, defense, government, merchandising, distribution, logistics, and other service sectors. With increasing emphasis on quality and productivity for successful international competition, ISEs remain in demand.
The objectives of the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering are founded in Mississippi State University’s educational philosophy and in the ISE profession. They were developed to satisfy the needs of the department’s constituents: employers, alumni, faculty, and the ISE profession.
The ISE program aim is to graduate students having a broad and practical education, with emphasis in industrial and systems engineering fundamentals and practices, which enables them to function effectively in systems involving people, materials, information, energy, and money.
The four educational objectives of the Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Engineering are stated below.
- Graduates of the industrial engineering program are versed in math, science, and engineering theory, know how to apply that theory, and are capable of functioning effectively producing solutions in a broad range of organizations.
- Graduates of the industrial engineering program lead and interact cooperatively in professional situations with individuals having diverse backgrounds, cultures, training, education, and interests.
- Graduates of the industrial engineering program think independently, critically examine ideas, and make discerning professional judgments, whether intellectual, ethical, or aesthetic.
- Graduates of the industrial engineering program are professionally mature, responsible, and informed citizens who pursue lifelong learning.
Because of the importance of systems design in the many facets of ISE, instruction of the principles and methods of design is integrated throughout the ISE curriculum of industrial engineering, and culminates in a major design experience in the student’s senior year.
The B. S. program in Industrial Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Industrial and similarly named engineering programs.
Engineering Leadership Excellence Program (dual degree program with ISE and Business Administration)
The Bagley College of Engineering and College of Business jointly offer a dual degree program that facilitates the completion of the B.S. in Industrial Engineering and the B.B.A. in Business Administration in four and one-half years of coursework. This program combines an ABET accredited degree in engineering with an AACSB accredited degree in business. Graduates of the dual degree program are better positioned to advance toward management positions in the industrial engineering field. Students in the dual degree program must maintain a 2.5 GPA to remain in the program.

Industrial engineering is an academic discipline with applicability to a broad range of students from other majors. Engineering majors specifically may wish to complement their degree programs with a minor in industrial engineering to demonstrate knowledge and competence in industrial engineering areas. Completion of the minor requirements should prepare students to apply fundamental principles of industrial engineering, such as production control, operations improvement, and engineering management, to their chosen career field.
Only students with the Bagley College of Engineering are eligible for a minor in industrial engineering. Students majoring in industrial engineering are not eligible.
A minor in industrial engineering consists of three required courses for all student pursuing the minor and two restricted elective courses.
