Summer Scholars Program

The H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE) offers the ISyE Summer Undergraduate Research Scholars Program, a 10-week summer program during which talented undergraduate students conduct full-time independent research under the direction of an ISyE faculty mentor. The Summer Undergraduate Research Program provides an opportunity for students, particularly those from underrepresented groups in this field, to develop research skills and build their professional networks with faculty from the top-ranked industrial engineering program in the US.
