For researchers, cutting-edge facilities are a must. The Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) has recognized this by establishing two new state-of-the-art labs: the Energy Lab and the Human-AI Systems Lab are designed to promote discovery in renewable energy and collective intelligence.
This academic year, 26 EOF students received Reiss scholarships ranging from $500 to $3,000 that have helped them access a Rutgers engineering education.
Four professors from the Rutgers School of Engineering were recognized for their contributions as researchers and educators.

Rutgers School of Engineering Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering team led by associate professor Zhimin Xi has been studying autonomous wheelchairs for five years. “A wheelchair is more human than a chair and should be as reliable as a good pair of shoes,” Xi insists. Their research has culminated with a $50,000 NSF National I-Corps Program grant to study and identify market opportunities for autonomous wheelchairs.
Rutgers Industrial and Systems Engineering professor Elsayed Elsayed has been inducted as an INFORMS fellow for his “innovative contributions to theory and applications in reliability engineering, distinguished contributions in education, and leadership service to industrial engineering and INFORMS professional societies.”
