"In my experience and that of many of my colleagues, we have identified industrial and systems engineering education as a fundamental base for success in many fields. USC's Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering offers a strong set of degrees at all levels to continue this tradition.

With the formation of the new Daniel J. Epstein Institute, the Epstein Department is uniquely positioned to be the thought leader in shifting the industrial engineering profession paradigm from cost and time minimization to one that includes quality of life factors as well.

Fight On!"
