About Our Chapter

TAMU IISE is the largest chapter in the nation with over 400 student members!

There are multiple social events throughout the semester, such as ice skating, Grand Station, game nights, and more! Students can join committees to become more involved in TAMU IISE and be part of smaller, more connected groups of Industrial Engineers.

We have a multitude of opportunities for students to connect and grow professionally. The Fall 2023 career fair will be TAMU's second largest engineering, student-run career fair, with companies attending exclusively to hire Industrial and Systems engineers. Our mentorship program allows students to connect with an upperclassman, professor, or industry professional as a mentor. Finally, there are many opportunities for students to connect with companies throughout the semester through coffee & donuts or speaker nights.
