ISE Day is Coming September 15, 2025 | IISE
ISE Day is SEPT. 15, 2025!
The big idea
We're launching the first-ever Industrial and Systems Engineering Day, a new initiative dedicated to increasing awareness of ISE and inspiring future generations to pursue careers in ISE.
Why it matters
ISE professionals solve humanity's biggest challenges – from supply chains to healthcare systems to climate solutions. Yet most people have never heard of us. Let's change that now.
What's happening
On Sept. 15, ISE professionals, students, and academics worldwide will simultaneously share their stories, celebrate their impact, and inspire the next generation of problem-solvers.
This is our moment to show the world what we do and why it matters.
The following are IISE activities scheduled for Sept. 15:
ISE Day Europe Virtual
Dr. Yu Ding and Professor Fabio Sgarbossa will moderate a lineup of invited speakers from the US and Europe to share their knowledge about industrial and systems engineering and IISE.
