What Do Industrial Engineers Do?
Industrial engineers are the ultimate problem solvers who turn complex, chaotic processes into smooth, super-efficient systems. Think of them as real-life puzzle masterminds: while other engineers design individual objects like cars, smartphones, or bridges, industrial engineers design the entire step-by-step process that builds, moves, and improves those things. When you get a package delivered to your doorstep in a single day, zip through a rollercoaster line at a theme park, or see a hospital emergency room run seamlessly, you are experiencing the magic of industrial engineering. By combining math, technology, and human behavior, they figure out how to eliminate waste, lower costs, protect the planet, and keep workers safe. Ultimately, industrial engineers spend their days making the world run faster, safer, and infinitely better for everyone on Earth.

Seth Bonder Summer Camp in Computational and Data Science
The Seth Bonder Summer Camp in Computational and Data Science is intended for high school students with little or no background in data science and computer programming and an interest in engineering. The camp only requires that participants are able to use a browser and have the desire to learn computational and data science through meaningful and exciting applications in machine learning, optimization, computational social science, and genomics.
No prior programming experience needed — all you need is a web browser!
GT Industrial Engineering Olympiad in Probability and Statistics
The H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering is proud to organize a probability and statistics competition for high school students. Are you strong in math? Have you taken the AP-STAT course already? If so, then come and join us!

Class Visits for High School Students
High school 10th-12th graders are invited to observe an ISyE probability and statistics class to get a better understanding of what it is like to be an ISyE student. During the visit, they will also enjoy lunch with current students and tour the Georgia Tech campus. Participants must be currently enrolled in, or have successfully completed, AP statistics in order to participate in this visit.
iExperience
Through immersive, hands-on experiences, students explore how industrial engineers solve real-world problems, improve systems, and create innovative solutions that impact industries across the globe. Whether visiting campus, shadowing a current student, or participating in our summer program, students gain an authentic look at life as a Georgia Tech ISyE student while learning about academic pathways and career opportunities.

Industrial and Systems Engineering Research Scholars Academy
Through this research program, high school students will be introduced to quantitative research and data analysis through R. Because the program mirrors the structure and expectations of undergraduate research, students will gain valuable experience that will prepare them for college. Students will work as one research team (up to six students) to develop a single, high quality, quantitative research proposal, culminating in a submission to the American Research Association (AERA) READY Program by October 29, 2026. If selected, the students will be prepared to attend and present at the AERA annual meeting in 2027. All students who are active participants will receive a certificate of completion. Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to expand knowledge and build an incredible college application!

Professional Development for Teachers
Would you like to incorporate industrial engineering methodologies and applications into your curriculum? If so, ISyE can help. Industrial engineering tools can be used to enhance a variety of subjects, and ISyE faculty are available upon request to help local high schools incorporate such content into their curriculum.
Math Teachers Day at Georgia Tech
Math Teachers Day is an annual event hosted at Georgia Tech under the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE), designed to bring math teachers together for connection, learning, and shared inspiration. Founded in 2022, the event has grown quickly each year, and we were thrilled to welcome 50+ teachers at our most recent gathering. Whether you’re joining us for the first time or returning, we’re excited to have you with us. Math Teachers Day is an annual event hosted at Georgia Tech under the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE), designed to bring math teachers together for connection, learning, and shared inspiration.
Informational Visits to Local High Schools
Local high schools are encouraged to schedule an informational visit from ISyE representatives to give students a better understanding of the School and industrial engineering as a major. Students will view a one-hour presentation given by an ISyE faculty member and a current student.
