About Us
Our Chapter
As the UC Berkeley Chapter of the National IISE, we strive to create an inclusive community to further the pursuit of knowledge and personal development
IISE is the global association of productivity and efficiency professionals specializing in industrial engineering, healthcare, ergonomics and other related professions. IISE is where these varied fields come together to advance the engineering profession through networking, training, and knowledge sharing. As a national organization, IISE hosts conferences and provides opportunities for students to engage with graduate researchers, professors, as well as industry professionals.
The officer team spent the past semester restructuring the organization to better fit students' interests. We are planning on having many more events this year. Currently, we are working on providing resources to help you determine what you can do with your undergraduate degree in one of the best majors on campus!
Our Mission
We teach others what Industrial Engineering is about and demonstrate its positive impacts.
Fun Fact
An IEOR degree spans a variety of fields including project managment, supply chain management, manufacturing engineering, operations research, and finance.
