Mission

The IE Department studies organised human activity and educates engineers capable of creating value in socio-technical systems. Our work is founded on critical reason and systems thinking and on strong quantitative analysis. Our approach emphasizes identifying and structuring issues and formulating problems, as much as it seeks to develop and implement effective courses of action. We promote interdisciplinary research and participation in joint research programs. We encourage the involvement of the industry, the students and the alumni in departmental activities.

Vision 

To be a research department that communicates knowledge of organised human activity. To connect research with instruction and educate professionals who are competent to deal with complex issues in socio-technical systems.

Our primary objective is to educate students who depend on critical reason and systems thinking to effectively apply qualitative and quantitative methods of inquiry in general, and statistical analysis and mathematical modeling in particular, to real-life problem solving and system design. (We understand systems thinking at the very least, as realizing that organized human activity takes place in systems of purposeful individuals and scarce resources, and that such systems do not have fixed boundaries.)

Our students will respect individual responsibility and ethical conduct. They will understand contemporary issues; will be aware of developments in science and technology, and they will embrace learning as a life long activity. They will be capable of effective communication and teamwork and of acting as facilitators in interdisciplinary projects.

In pursuing our educational objectives we ensure systemic integrity and focus in our curricula, we make industrial experience and real-life problems an integral part of education and we maintain mutual respect and effective interaction between faculty and students. We actively search for and maintain qualified faculty and seek to attract graduate students from diverse backgrounds.
