Abstract

The history of much of Industrial Engineering has its roots in the Industrial Revolution where technologies helped mechanize what had been manual labor. However a lot has changed in the 100 plus years since the Industrial Revolution started, and Industrial Engineering rightly changed along with it. over time Industrial Engineering has taken different focuses and embodied different instruction by different educational institutions. Is it only just 'gears and wrenches'? Or is there more to it? Are there specific identifiable focuses? If so, how could Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) articulate those focuses? If a university was to start a brand new Industrial and Systems Engineering program, what would it look like and why? These topics will be explored in this article focusing on the rollout of a brand new program in Industrial and Systems Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology.
