About the Department
The Fitts Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) at NC State strives to improve society through research and education related to health systems, human factors and ergonomics, data analytics and optimization, supply chain and logistics engineering, and advanced manufacturing. The ISE community includes more than 25 faculty, 10 core staff, 300 undergraduate students, 200 graduate students, and others affiliated with connected centers and degrees, where we work together in a collaborative, diverse, and collegial environment (ranked 12th in the field by US News). NC State ISE is based in Raleigh, NC, and was recently named Best Place to Live by US News and World Report, with proximity to urban areas, beaches, mountains, great restaurants, cultural activities, and more. Our location also represents the eastern point of the Research Triangle. It places us close to three major universities, many world-class companies, and several leading research institutes.
In ISE, innovative research is conducted within and across areas, along with interdisciplinary collaborations across the university and beyond. In addition to degrees in ISE, the department leads a Master’s in Engineering Management degree (https://mem.grad.ncsu.edu), collaborates on graduate degrees in Operations Research (www.or.ncsu.edu), and supports the Integrated Manufacturing Systems Engineering (www.imsei.ncsu.edu) Master’s degree. 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 is supported by world-class laboratory facilities for computing, manufacturing, human factors, and ergonomics research, enhanced by the new Fitts-Woolard Hall, located on NC State’s Centennial Campus near the award-winning Hunt Library and numerous industry and governmental facilities. Our faculty are internationally renowned in their fields, and they have extensive collaborations with other departments, universities, medical schools, and other external partners. NC State students ‘think and do’ with active learning on real-life problems across the entire ISE discipline, and our students become leaders in academia, industry, and government. NC State engineering is expanding, with up to 40% growth in faculty, staff, undergraduate, and graduate students expected over the coming years.
