About Us

The Industrial and Systems Engineering Department of Kennesaw State University has a mission to provide undergraduate and graduate education in industrial engineering technology, industrial & systems engineering, manufacturing operations, supply chain logistics, quality assurance, systems engineering, engineering management and related fields to serve the manufacturing and service industries. These programs prepare graduates for careers that are concerned with the design, implementation, evaluation and improvement of integrated systems of people, machines, energy, information and logistics. Graduates are well prepared to lead the scientific and economic development of an increasingly complex world while preparing them for lifelong learning. Additionally, graduates have an appreciation for the impact that various political and social issues can have on their organizations. Our mission is to serve both traditional and non-traditional students at the undergraduate and graduate levels and to empower them with the ability and vision to transform the future.

The Industrial and Systems Engineering Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) provides support and guidance from the community of professional engineers. The IAB provides valuable advice on the mission and goals of the Industrial and Systems Engineering Department. The IAB also promotes a collaborative relationship between industry and academia.
