Grainger Engineering Industrial and Enterprise Systems Engineering IISE students recently hosted a Six Sigma Certification training, giving participants hands-on experience with industry tools, data-driven problem solving, and real-world process improvement. Students shared how the certification boosted their confidence, opened doors to internships, and helped them apply classroom concepts directly to professional settings. By earning industry-recognized credentials early, they’re positioning themselves for stronger career opportunities and a meaningful head start in the field.

A team of Industrial and Enterprise Systems students earned second place in the 2025 CICMHE and MHI Student Design Competition for their data-driven AMR optimization project with Thermoflex, applying core ISE methods to a real industry challenge. Their success highlights the impact of experiential learning in the Senior Design Capstone, where students turn classroom knowledge into solutions that shape modern manufacturing.

We sat down with Grainger Engineering alumnus and Elevate Healthcare CEO Brian Truesdale to learn about how he brings real-world industry experience to ISE’s Senior Design program, helping students apply systems engineering to health care innovation and leadership development.
