Rutgers students placed third in the world after submitting a proposal to the Lean Student Paper Competition hosted by the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE).
Students from the Department of Industrial Engineering created a proposal to improve the efficiency of a paint line at Paramount Metal Finishing (PMF). In placing third, they beat out a host of other teams from several different countries. Many of the competing teams submit senior design projects as their papers.

With no boundaries, no textbooks, and no solutions manuals, the students of the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering are challenged to apply laboratory and classroom experience on a real-world scale to interdisciplinary senior design projects, as part of their culminating work prior to graduating. Projects were presented to an audience of faculty, students, and company professionals at a showcase in the CoRE building on December 6, 2013.

As a student at Rutgers School of Engineering in the early 1990s, Ray Attiyah ENG’91 felt challenged when it came time to choose an engineering discipline after an initial interest in electrical engineering didn’t stick. He took a hard look at his unique talents to determine which field best suited him. As he explained to a group of ISE students when he returned to campus recently, his ability to recognize patterns and devise and understand systems led him to industrial and systems engineering—not to mention some success as a poker player later on.
