One of the nation's earliest systems engineering programs, Lehigh University's Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering explores and teaches analytics, optimization, and high-performance computing to give students the tools to solve a number of complex industrial challenges in areas such as manufacturing, production, healthcare and financial services. Industrial and systems engineers who graduate from Lehigh University go on to design, improve and optimize processes, systems, products and services. They use their problem-solving and analytical skills to find ways to make processes better, easier, cheaper or safer. They devise ways to shorten lines at amusement parks, speed up global delivery systems and optimize operating room processes.
