The Edward P. Fitts Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering is one of only five named industrial and systems engineering departments in the United States and is consistently ranked among the top programs in the country. The department currently has a rich and diverse research portfolio in teaching and research in advanced manufacturing, biomedical manufacturing, health systems, human- systems, logistics, production systems, and systems analysis and optimization. The department houses two state funded centers, including: The Ergonomics Center of North Carolina (www.theergonomicscenter.com), which is the only center of its kind at a U.S. public research institution, and the Center for Additive Manufacturing and Logistics (camal.ncsu.edu), which is one of the most advanced manufacturing and 3D printing laboratories in the country. The department also supports two other academic programs within the university, including Operations Research (www.or.ncsu.edu) and Integrated Manufacturing Systems Engineering (www.imsei.ncsu.edu). ISE will be joining other engineering departments in NC State’s university/industry research campus (centennial.ncsu.edu) in Summer 2020. Our location in Raleigh, NC, represents the eastern point of the Research Triangle and places us close to three major universities, a large number of world-class companies, and several leading research institutes. To learn more about the department, prospective applicants are encouraged to speak with ISE faculty and visit our departmental website (www.ise.ncsu.edu) for more detailed information.
