Rich and Expansive History

The Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers was originally founded in 1948 as the American Institute of Industrial Engineers. In 1981, the name was changed to The Institute of Industrial Engineers to reflect its global impact, and changed again in April of 2016 to its current standing. Throughout its history, the institute has remained the official society for furthering the industrial engineering profession. It is our goal to spread their message to as many students as possible.

An Invaluable Network

The Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers is a globally recognized professional society, with roots in industries all over the world. As time goes on, we are beginning to see more and more industrial engineers occupy CEO and/or CFO positions in large corporations and many of them are professional members of IISE. As a member of our chapter, you are starting on the path to something that you will likely be a part of for the rest of your life. Don't wait - get involved now!
