Industrial Engineering & Operations Research

Deployment Optimization of Internet in Dense Urban Areas

As a field, Industrial Engineering seeks effective and efficient ways to use basic factors of production to make a product or provide a service. Operations Research makes use of mathematical techniques to find the best solutions to complex real-world problems.

The U.S. News and World Report top-ranked UC Berkeley Department of Industrial Engineering & Operations Research invents, analyzes and teaches tools and approaches for design, analysis, risk management, and decision-making in complex real-world systems like supply chains, energy systems, healthcare systems, and financial systems.
