The students will work closely with a company representative to understand the problem and develop practical solutions to address it. At the end of the project, students will present their findings and recommendations to the company\u2019s management. Through this project, our students demonstrate the value that they can bring to an organization. It is not uncommon to hear of students receiving job offers at the end of their projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-medium-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\" class=\"has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color\">What is Industrial and Systems Engineering?<\/p>\n\n\n<p><em>Industrial and Systems Engineering is about solving problems, making decisions and optimising processes.

The Club is a sub-club of Engin Club, and works to improve student life within ISE. The Club also serves as the voice of the ISE undergraduates. Each year, ISE Club plans for an exciting line up of events!
