Industrial and Systems Engineering

What is Industrial & Systems Engineering?

Today, engineers with strong roots in engineering and science and data analysis acumen are needed to improve technology and processes in enterprises. The Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) in industrial and systems engineering (ISE) program at Stevens prepares you with cross-disciplinary, "big picture" systems perspectives and knowledge to engineer, develop and maintain complex systems in multiple industries including manufacturing, aerospace, healthcare, transportation, energy,finance,entertainment, service and more.

Graduates of the ISE program often pursue the following career paths:

• Industrial engineers
• Systems engineers
• System integration engineers
• Quality engineers
• Project engineers
• Sales & marketing engineers
• Field engineers
• Systems planners
• Systems analysts

About the ISE Program at Stevens

In the ISE program, youll learn how to design, manage and implement solutions to improve quality, performance and efficiency. You'll develop a skillset to learn how to do things better at the enterprise-level such as how increase customer satisfaction, improve efficiencies, decrease costs and reduce waste in enterprise operations. By the time they complete theirISE graduate degree program, students will be well positioned to drive entire organizations toward success, making them invaluable technical leaders in industry and government with the application-driven toolkit enabling them to seek and implement solutions to enterprise system challenges.

Students in the ISE program have the opportunity to delve into complex systems study at the Center for Complex Systems & Enterprises (CCSE) Immersion Lab. Students also have an opportunity to interact with world-class researchers from the Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC) on relevant research topics.

Sample Core Courses

The ISE course curriculum includes:

• Informatics and Software Development
• Innovative System Design
• Data Mining & Applied Machine Learning
• Analysis of Networks and Games

The SSE is applying for accreditation by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET,https://www.abet.org,in 2021.

Message from Director

Dr. Kathryn Abel, director of undergraduate academics, industrial and systems engineering

Industrial and systems engineers are increasingly in demand for their valuable systems approach to complex, highly interconnected products and processes. Stevens industrial and systems engineers bring an in-depth knowledge of data analytics to their distributed decision-making approach that allows them to address unstructured problems and create innovative, optimized and impactful solutions that help businesses adapt to new technologies and situations that increase efficiency while reducing industrial costs.

The Difference at Stevens

Faculty at Stevens understand that tomorrows engineers require the skills to use data to build modern, efficient systems. That's precisely why our ISE program is data-intensive. SSE faculty teach students how to extract useful data from information enterprises and how to apply it in mathematical models and analytical tools to gain insight to inform problem solving and decision support.

The curriculum is designed to teach and focus students on:

• Thinking about the ways in which technology can help organizations accomplish goals
• Applying systems analytics and data science to engineering design

This creates engineers with a larger perspective on systems. With the capability to use data to develop a big-picture model of systems, analyze problems and optimize system quality and performance, our ISE graduates are assets to enterprises.

A freshman application should be submitted if you are a current high school student, or a high school graduate that has not been enrolled in a college or university since graduation.  This includes students that have earned college credits through a high school and/or dual-enrollment curriculum.

If you are an international student (non-US Citizen, non-US Permanent Resident) applying to Stevens Institute of Technology and English is not your first language, you must demonstrate English proficiency withoneof the following:

• TOEFL (minimum 80 iBT)
• IELTS (minimum 6.0 overall)
• Duolingo English Test (minimum 105)
• Pearson PTE Academic Test (minimum 53)
• SAT I Evidence-Based Reading & Writing (minimum 550)
• TOEFL Essentials

English proficiency waivers may be granted on a case by case basis for international students who have studied in the US for at least 3 years from the time of application. Pleasecontact the admissionsoffice after submitting your application to request a waiver.

** Recognizing that standardized testing opportunities may not be available to potential applicants, and in an effort to support access to our university, Stevens Institute of Technology is extending the SAT/ACT test optional policy, with some exceptions, for Fall 2022 first year applicants. Please review our test optional policy plan here.

If electing to submit test scores at least one of the following standardized test options is required:

• SAT I
• ACT
• Two AP exams: calculus and either chemistry or physics
• Two SAT Subject tests: math and either chemistry or physics
• International Baccalaureate predicted grades with two higher level exams scores in math and science​
• Music & Technology and Visual Arts & Technology applicants:you may submit a digital portfolio in lieu of test scores.

Submitting Supplemental Materials

Supplemental materials that must accompany your application include your official transcript, at least one teacher recommendation, one guidance counselor recommendation, SAT or ACT scores (or your digital portfolio, if applicable) and your personal statement.

International applicants:Please visit ourInternational Studentspage for additional application requirements.

We must receive your supplemental materials by theapplication deadline. You can have materials sent to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions by mail, email or online submission.

Submitting Test Scores

The Covid-19 Pandemic has led to continued SAT/ACT testing challenges. It remains difficult for many students to take the exams and students who are able to take the exams may still be doing so under unusual circumstances. Recognizing that standardized testing opportunities may not be available to potential applicants, and in an effort to support access to our university, Stevens Institute of Technology is extending the SAT/ACT test optional policy, with some exceptions, for Fall 2022 first year applicants and Fall 2021, Spring 2022, and Fall 2022 transfer applicants.

The test optional plan requires applicants to indicate if they will submit test scores on their application for admission. Those who choose to do so may self-report test scores with the understanding that officially submitted test scores from the appropriate testing agency are required for enrollment.

The test optional plan does not eliminate the need for demonstrated language proficiency.Non-native English-speaking students will still be required to submit results from an English language proficiency exam (TOEFL, IELTS, PTE, SAT EBRW or Duolingo).

If you are applying to our Accelerated Pre-Medicine or Pre-Law programs,test scores must still be submitted.

Use the following institutional codes when submitting your standardized test scores:

SAT:2819

ACT:2610

If you are applying to our Music & Technology or Visual Arts & Technology programs you are strongly encouraged to submit a portfolio.
