Mission Statement
The Kansas State University Chapter of the Institute of Industrial Engineers is
devoted to the professional development, education, and involvement of all its
members, as well as the recruitment of new members. We are focused on
supplementing the IE curriculum with services and activities to develop and
improve the achievements of IE students.

2008-2009 Goals
1. Recruit current IE students to join IIE and recruit undecided engineering
students to transfer into IE through activities that promote our department and
organization.
2. Provide and participate in more educational opportunities for IIE members in
conjunction with the KC senior chapter and area companies. This goal will be
met by providing a workshop for our members and participating in Mentor
Day.
3. Be an active chapter in all areas relating to Industrial Engineering in an effort
to receive Gold Chapter recognition.
