STEM SPOTLIGHT ON THE DANIEL J. EPSTEIN DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL & SYSTEMS ENGINEERING

USC Viterbi welcomes the students of the STEM Academy of Boyle Heights on Tuesday, March 21, 2017, for a day of interactive demonstrations by the faculty of the Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial Systems & Engineering.

Students choose USC because of its leadership in ISE research. Our faculty works with the National Science Foundation and private companies to stay at the forefront of innovation in software, control systems and engineering management. USC's research leadership is reflected in our faculty's membership in the prestigious National Academy of Engineering, publications in top journals and patents for computer-based technologies.
