Mission

To support the ISE Undergraduate Program, the ISE Undergraduate Program Committee (UPC) (comprised of ISE faculty, Academic Advisors, and an undergraduate student representative) is established to fulfill the following mission:

The mission of the ISE UPC is to manage the ISE Undergraduate Program by overseeing the recruitment and retention of students, monitoring and improving the BSISE curriculum, addressing individual student appeals, and serving as an advocate for the Undergraduate Program in Departmental planning and decision making.

The UPC is chaired by Dr. Natalie Cherbaka. 

ISE Undergraduate Courses

The curriculum requirements for the BSISE degree and all undergraduate courses offered by the ISE Department are provided in the ISE Department section of the Virginia Tech Undergraduate Catalog. The Department offers required and elective courses encompassing the breadth of the industrial engineering discipline: human factors engineering and ergonomics, manufacturing systems, operations research, and management system.  In addition to formal courses, the Department has also increased opportunities for Undergraduate Research where students work one-on-one or in small groups with faculty on research activities.

Checksheets are the legacy documents and process for developing curriculum at Virginia Tech. For the 2024-2025 catalog year and beyond, students and campus partners should refer to the University Catalog for all official course and programmatic curricula information. Checksheets for ISE and popular minors are linked in the right sidebar and available at the registrar’s website: Checksheets | Office of the University Registrar | Virginia Tech.
