| Welcome! |
The Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research (IEOR) educates students to become highly skilled in:
the quantitative modeling and analysis of a broad array of systems-level decision problems concerned with economic efficiency, productivity and quality;
the development and creative use of analytical and computational methods for solving these problems;
and to obtain the broader skills, background and knowledge necessary to be an effective professional in a rapidly-changing global economy.
IEOR engineers work in a variety of industries, including: communications, entertainment, finance, food, health, logistics, manufacturing, medicine, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, sports, travel, and transportation.

The IEOR department is happy to announce the establishment of the Katta Murty Prize for Best Research Paper on Optimization by an IEOR Student. Katta graduated from the department (with David Gale as his advisor) in 1968, and has been on the faculty of the IOE department at the University of Michigan since then. Over the course of his career Katta has made significant contributions to optimization theory. The prize, based on endowment of $10,000, will be awarded annually to graduate students or recent graduates of IEOR for original work in optimization. The first prize will be awarded in the next academic year.
UC Berkeley's College of Engineering has placed third among the top graduate schools nationwide according to the 2008 U.S. News & World Report graduate rankings.
