The Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers (IISE) is the world's largest professional membership society dedicated solely to the support of the industrial and systems engineering professions and individuals involved with improving quality and productivity. UAH's student chapter is committed to introducing industrial and systems engineering students to the profession through regular meetings where guest speakers discuss their role in the profession, pertinent topics in the field, or specific topics (e.g., resume advice) to help the student enter the profession. The student chapter also offers plant tours to enable students to see industrial and systems engineering processes and improvements in action. UAH's student chapter is strongly associated with the professional chapter through guest speakers, attendance at meetings, and monetary support. Faculty advisor: Dr. Bryan Mesmer.
