Welcome to Industrial and Systems Engineering

Industrial and Systems Engineers design, install and improve systems that integrate people, materials, equipment, energy, information and finance while ensuring that quality, safety, environment and human needs are met. They utilise engineering management techniques together with the principles and methods of engineering design and analysis to evaluate and predict the results of change. They are key members of teams responsible for timing, costing, layouts, process flows, equipment requirements, human-machine interactions, data collection, plant operations and whole systems including manufacturing facilities, supply chains, transportation networks and warehouses. The Industrial and Systems Engineering major incorporates a wide range of units from engineering, sustainability, management and industrial mathematics. It offers a specialised knowledge and practical foundations in engineering design, manufacturing, quality, systems engineering, control, operations research, practice and management, human factors, modelling, simulation and optimisation of industrial processes. Graduates with such background are frontline engineers for the rapid expansion from basic time and motion analysis to digitised automation of operations, maintenance, monitoring of production, driverless trucks and unmanned aerial vehicles.
