Dear members of the IEM family,
I am writing to let you know that I will be taking the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs position in the College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology at Oklahoma State University, effective July 1st.
I have served in my role as Head of the School of Industrial Engineering and Management since August 2013 for nine years and would like to take this opportunity to look back and note the several major accomplishments we have achieved together, in large part due to your enthusiasm, involvement, and participation.
-
Rankings: We have significantly improved our rankings in the public graduate programs in industrial/manufacturing systems category from the low 30's in 2013 to the low 20’s. We were ranked #22 last year. Our online MS ETM program is ranked #12 among public universities and #17 overall!
-
Enrollment and Degrees granted: We have significantly increased enrollment in the undergraduate program from 125 in 2012 to a peak of 209 in 2019. Our numbers have since dropped to a low of 148. However, the number of degrees granted has increased from about 25 to an average of 45 in the past three years.
