*A Message From Our Chair*
Dr. Yasser Dessouky
Despite the many challenges the San José State Community has faced the past
year due to Covid-19, the Industrial and Systems Engineering Department has
continued to provide the quality of education that is expected from our
students. I can not be prouder of the dedication shown by the faculty and
staff for maintaining excellence thru out this period. This newsletter
highlights some of those exciting activities the department is engaging in
to support our faculty, students, alumni, and the community in general.
*Some highlights:* A generous gift from Mr. Rajinder Jindia to support
student scholarships, and an Omron donation of a mobile robot and vision
system components to support the department’s state-of-the art wireless
manufacturing cell. The department welcomed a new faculty member, Dr.
Yupeng Wei, who is a recent PhD graduate from Penn State. ISE Department
faculty continue to be recognized for their efforts. The Davidson College
of Engineering named the 2020 Award for Excellence in Service to Dr. Minnie
Patel. Three of our alumni are profiled that demonstrates the success and
diversity of careers our alumni achieve. These are few of the many items
that are presented in this edition, and I hope you enjoy the reading.

A quick look at the numbers:
Through Covid-19, ISE registrations in all programs remain strong, although
reduced from Fall 2019 levels. Fall 2021 enrollments are expected to climb
to pre-Covid-19 levels as on-campus classes resume operations.

*A 3 year project…*
Nearly three years ago, the ISE Department embarked on a project to revamp
and upgrade the Computer Integrated Manufacturing Lab in Room 194. Members
of the project team met recently to review the installation of the new
Omron Hornet robot which the Department purchased.. A new Omron banner now
hangs on the lab’s wall.
In addition, Omron has gifted the department with an autonomous robot. Tom
Pham recently designed and installed a carrier for the robot so it can now
service the conveyors and robot stations.
