Professional

Professional events allow students to network with peers and industry professionals, as well as gain industry insights

Social

 Social events give members a chance to ditch the books and get to know their peers and community

Service 

Service outings encourage members to not only be good but do good in the community.

IISE Conference

2025-26 Engineering Open House

3D Scanner - 3D Design

Using a software that takes photos and converts them into 3d models, we can show the world of 3D Design and manufacturing methods. Sketching principles and basic CAD applications will be introduced.

Supply Chain + OPtimization

With a maze in the center students will attempt to solve the maze in the shortest path. Using computer vision, we can get data and use it to demonstrate other optimization problems and industrial planning.

  IISE North Central Region Conference

Annually students get the opportunity to attend conference and network with diverse students from across more than 10 campuses.

Through a series of workshops and seminars, attendees will explore the vast possibilities within industrial engineering and beyond.

 It's also a fantastic opportunity to network with professionals and peers across the region, allowing participants to build valuable connections with faculty members and industry leaders, both local and national.

These experts will share key industry trends and essential skills, covering topics such as consulting, healthcare, patent law, graduate school, supply chain, technology, and more!

Certifications

The Six Sigma Green Belt Certification Training is a great opportunity for students looking to grow relevant industry skills to get a head start in their career or gain a competitive edge over other candidates. Six Sigma techniques focus on analyzing data to reduce process variation that leads to defects, which is relevant to almost all engineering careers. 

Our instructor for this course will be Dr. Beth Cudney, a IISE LEAN Six Sigma Master Black Belt and Professor of Maryville University. Dr. Cudney is very excited to teach students how to grow their skills and prepare for industry!
This three-day course provides an in-depth understanding of lean enterprise principles and how to apply them within your organization. Your lean journey begins with a series of interactive simulations that demonstrate how each lean concept is applied and its impact on the process. Mapping the process flow and identifying the activities that add value from the customer’s perspective is the cornerstone of this class. The class is then given a scenario and the students simulate the conversion from traditional to lean in a practical hands-on environment. The course also provides a structure for how to manage a lean process for continuous improvement. Participants will learn how to structure their organizations to support and continuously improve a lean process. Participants will also fully understand how to implement 5S within their plants and how to begin reducing setup time using the SMED process.

    ISE UIUC Chapter proudly offers Six Sigma and Lean Green Belt Training and Certification typically in the Fall and Spring semesters, respectively. Both of these certifications are applicable to the industry and establish your credibility as a professional. Our Chapter brings in a trainer from National IISE to ensure that our students are mastering the green belt level. 

In the past, UIUC has traditionally been able to offer partial scholarships for a limited number of National IISE members and members of the IISE UIUC Chapter. However, we open these courses up to all UIUC students, staff, and faculty to participate. We will announce signups for these at general meetings and via our Facebook Group. For more information, email Rylee at ryleeth2@illinois.edu.


   The Six Sigma Green Belt Certification course has passed but look out for our Lean Green Belt training in Spring.
