Industrial and systems engineering provides the perfect blend of technical skills and human orientation. Industrial engineers address overall system performance and productivity, responsiveness to customer needs and quality of products or services produced.
Ohio State's industrial and systems engineering program is ranked 19th in the nation by U.S. News and World Report, and the department has established several areas of research and academic excellence, including manufacturing processes, human factors and ergonomics and operations research.
The program also provides a good grounding in all areas of industrial engineering: manufacturing, ergonomics, systems modeling and design, and engineering management. Graduates from this engineering discipline make ideal candidates for management because of their training with operations, business planning, financial analysis and project management.
