of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK). The ISE Department offers BS, MS, and Ph.D. degrees in Industrial Engineering and MS and Doctoral degrees in Engineering Management. The Department currently has a total of 11 tenured or tenure-track faculty members and an enrollment
of approximately 380 students, including 233 UG, 95 MS, and 56 Ph.D. students. The Department will increase its faculty size to 22 by 2025, including 16 tenured or tenure-track faculty members and six full-time teaching or research faculty members, through
the College investment and campus-wide cluster hires in AI, Future Mobility, and Climate-smart Agriculture. As the state’s flagship research institution with an enrollment of more than 33,000 students, the UTK campus is in the foothills of the Great Smoky
Mountains. Knoxville was ranked by US News and World Reports as #41 out of the 150 most populous metro areas as the best places to live. The area offers unique opportunities for research partnerships with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the Y-12 Security Complex,
and the National Institute for Computational Sciences. ISE actively interacts with on-campus centers including the Reliability and Maintainability Center, the Center for Transportation Research, the state’s Institute for Public Service, the Institute for a
Secure and Sustainable Environment, and so on. Departmental strengths include optimization, data analytics, machine learning, quantum computing, reliability and maintainability, and operational excellence and their applications in manufacturing, logistics
and transportation, energy systems, sustainability, and healthcare systems. The annual externally funded research expenditure is more than $3.5M.
