ISE Undergraduate Courses

Undergraduate courses offered by the ISE Department are provided in the ISE Department section of the Virginia Tech Undergraduate Catalog and in the ISE Undergraduate Student Handbook.  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.

The curriculum requirements for the BSISE degree are provided in the ISE Checksheet defined for each class year. More information about the Undergraduate Program is provided in the ISE Undergraduate Student Handbook. The checksheets and the undergraduate student handbook can be found on the right side bar of this page.
