Our world-renowned faculty has established an effective and supportive environment for education and research, based on a clearly defined core set of decision-driven disciplines – information engineering, operations engineering and enterprise engineering. They have been recognized for both their educational and research achievements. Their awards have included election to the prestigious U. S. National Academy of Engineering (NAE), Fellow designations, educational innovation and teaching awards, and outstanding career recognitions.

Computer advances have brought about a methodological renewal in the aforementioned decision-driven disciplines. We have capitalized on this renewal in both our academic and research programs. The multidisciplinary nature of our research this where – in addition to solving challenging problems in the established disciplinary fields – our research is addressing some of the major issues confronting society. In particular, our faculty are engaged in developing innovative and integrative approaches to dealing with operational issues arising in the effective functioning of service and manufacturing enterprises, adaptive supply chains and other areas directed at enhancing the human condition and quality of life.
