Purdue University Edwardson School of Industrial Engineering

Purdue University Edwardson School of Industrial Engineering #1 Online Masters, #2 Undergraduate, and #4 Graduate Industrial Engineering Programs in the U.S. (U.S. News & World Report)

At Purdue's Edwardson School of Industrial Engineering, we're rethinking our whole approach to IE to meet the demands of a dynamic world. We are reinventing our curriculum, our faculty and our facilities to become the worldwide leader in Industrial Engineering education. We've already had many successes: graduating the highest number of undergraduate students in our school's history, increasing ou

r graduate enrollment, having the second largest IE faculty in the nation, being ranked No. 2 (undergrad), No. 1 (online MS) and No. 6 (graduate) by the U.S. News & World Report, sending our students to participate in international experiences, and completing Grissom Hall's "reinvention"!

What does industrial engineering look like at Purdue?

It looks like artificial intelligence and robotics. Healthcare and human factors. Advanced manufacturing, supply chains, energy, transportation, data analytics and optimization.

At Purdue University’s Edwardson School of Industrial Engineering, our faculty, students and alumni are working across disciplines to solve complex problems — improving the systems, technologies and organizations that shape the way we live and work.

That breadth is one of the things that makes industrial engineering unique. Whether the challenge involves people, machines, data or all three, industrial engineers bring them together to make systems work better.

And our Boilermakers continue to make an impact well beyond Purdue. One example: Purdue IE’s outstanding showing at the 2026 IISE Annual Conference, where our students, faculty and alumni earned national recognition for research, leadership, innovation and achievement.

Today at Purdue University's Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium, students mentored by faculty from the Purdue University Edwardson School of Industrial Engineering showcased research that demonstrates just how broad the impact of industrial engineering can be.

From AI-powered robotics and assistive technologies to digital twins for advanced manufacturing, healthcare, construction safety, human performance, and advanced sensing technologies, these projects tackle complex, real-world challenges through data, optimization, human-centered design, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

One of the most rewarding aspects of the symposium is seeing undergraduate researchers contribute to meaningful work alongside faculty mentors, gaining hands-on experience while helping advance research with the potential to improve industries and people's lives.

Congratulations to our students, faculty mentors, and collaborators!

What does the future of supply chains look like?

According to Purdue IE's David Simchi-Levi, it's powered by AI.

From developing the widely used Time to Recover (TTR) and Time to Survive (TTS) frameworks to leading Purdue's Data Science Center for Decision Making, Simchi-Levi has spent decades helping organizations prepare for uncertainty. Now, he's exploring how predictive AI, prescriptive analytics, and generative AI can make supply chains smarter, more resilient, and better prepared for whatever comes next.
