What is SIE?
"Educating students on how to combine technical, business, computing, and social disciplines to develop systems that meet customer needs, that is what we do in SIE."
--SIE Faculty, The University of Arizona
Have you ever wondered:
- How are, say, the inventories of goods kept in balance at supermarkets and large stores? How are those goods delivered on time?
- How are computers and automobiles manufactured with quality and at competitive prices?
- How are 1-800 and calling-card calls handled and routed automatically through the telephone network?
- How are thousands of airplanes and millions of travelers scheduled and managed efficiently on a daily basis?
These are just a few scenarios where Systems and Industrial Engineers play important and challenging roles.
