About Us

Industrial Engineering combines knowledge from the physical, mathematical and social sciences to design efficient manufacturing and service systems that integrate people, equipment and information. Improvements made by industrial engineering in automation, information control and process quality revolutionized manufacturing in the past century and greatly increased our quality of life. Trends towards globalization, increased complexity and rapid technological innovation create an even greater need for industrial engineering in the 21st century

Successful industrial engineering concepts are also spreading to the financial, logistics and health care service industries affording new areas of opportunity. The Department of Industrial Engineering at Arizona State University is ranked among the top 20 in the nation for both undergraduate and graduate programs.
