About Bachelor of Industrial and Systems Engineering

Bachelor of Science in Industrial and Systems Engineering

The Kennesaw State Industrial and Systems Engineering program combines skills from both Industrial Engineering and Systems Engineering. As an industrial engineer (IE), you will use: mathematical, statistical, and scientific techniques to design, analyze, implement, improve systems of people, information, energy, and materials.

ISYEs interpret qualitative and quantitative data to analyze a system's functionality and to make decisions that ultimately improve those systems. Computer programming is used to attain these systems-level and people-level objectives in a technology-driven society. As an ISYE, you use an interdisciplinary and structured approach to designing and deploying successful systems to blend engineering, systems thinking, and management topics. You will learn how to streamline work processes, optimization methods, and risk management while ensuring that all likely aspects of a project or system are considered and integrated into a whole.

Examples of ISYE projects include:

Planning and executing relief operations for natural disasters
Designing safety protocols for autonomous vehicles
Streamlining the flow of patients in hospitals while improving the quality of care
Designing a transportation system, including warehouse locations and truck routes, in order to improve on-time deliveries at lower cost.
Leading a project team to develop the next presidential helicopter.

Students in the Industrial and Systems Engineering degree path have the opportunity to concentrate in either Industrial (IE) or Systems (SYE) Engineering. Due to the similarities between the two disciplines, 75% of the curriculum is shared, providing graduates with an expanded job market opportunity while the remaining 25% is directed towards the specifics of each area of engineering.

There is significant overlap in the career paths that an IE versus an SYE may follow. IE tends to be more focused on business, with courses in accounting and supply chain management while SYE is more focused on large-scale systems such as for the defense, aerospace, or automotive industries. Additionally, if a student is interested in pursuing professional engineer licensure (PE), the coursework in the SYE concentration is better preparation for the Fundamentals of Engineering exam.

This program offers course work in:

Engineering Mechanics
Project Management for Engineers
Design and Improvement of Quality Processes
Supply Chain Logistics Management
Manufacturing and Service System
Facilities Planning and Materials Handling

This program is a combination of Industrial engineering and Systems engineering. Industrial engineering is concerned with design, improvement and implementation of integrated processes of people, processes, information, materials, management and equipment. Systems engineering deals with work-processes, optimization methods, and risk management tools.
