Exciting things keep on happening at Texas
A&M University and in our department. The
department’s name has been changed to
Industrial and Systems Engineering to reflect the
changes in the field, as evidenced by the breadth
of research our faculty are conducting and the
range of employers who are hiring our students.
Texas A&M’s five year faculty reinvestment
program continues. We hired three new faculty
members in 2005 and have other additions
planned for 2006. As a result, we continue
to strengthen our faculty and improve the
department, which consistently enjoys a top-ten
ranking.
This report provides an overview of the
department’s activities for 2005 and highlights a
few of our many accomplishments. We are excited
about the future as we continue to build a culture
of excellence.
