Graduates of the ISE program work in diverse fields, for example in the government, universities, oil and gas sector, manufacturing sectors, business sectors, banks, healthcare and many other fields. These engineers make things work better, safer, and more economical. A distinguishing feature of the ISE discipline is the integration of humans, machines, materials and information, in order to optimize the performance of such systems using available resources in the most efficient way, but without degrading social and physical environments. Unlike the other engineering disciplines that focus their attention purely on the technical aspects of a system, the ISE graduates incorporate human and economic considerations in systems design.
