Industrial engineering, operations research, and systems engineering are fields of study intended for individuals who are interested in analyzing and formulating abstract models of complex systems with the intention of improving system performance. Unlike traditional disciplines in engineering and the mathematical sciences, the fields address the role of the human decision-maker as key contributor to the inherent complexity of systems and primary benefactor of the analyses.
Georgia Tech pursues leading-edge research with industry, government, and community partners.

This concentration is concerned with the methodology of Industrial Engineering modeling including optimization, stochastic modeling, and statistics. The depth courses include advanced courses in these areas. This area also prepares students for graduate school. Many companies employ students with good methodology training for operations research or statistical analysis.
