History
The Industrial & Systems Engineering (ISE) program in the Systems Engineering Department was first introduced in 1984 and has been revised in 1996 based on the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (
ABET) recommendation after their first visit in 1993. The revision made in 1996 came after when the number of credit hours of the
