The Department of Industrial Engineering serves the State of South Carolina and the nation through teaching, research and outreach in the discipline of industrial engineering. A particular focus for industrial engineering at Clemson University is to be a nationally top-ranked industrial engineering department emphasizing the education, research, discovery and application of knowledge in the following information technology driven emphasis areas. Clemson IE is proud to support these initiatives through its participation in research that specializes in:
The mission of the Cognitive Ergonomics and Systems Engineering Laboratory (Riggs Lab) is to design displays/interfaces to support operators in various data-rich domains including, and not limited to: healthcare, military applications, and aviation. We have ongoing research on multimodal displays, adaptive displays, and understanding human perceptual and cognitive limitations with respect to display design. The findings will ideally be used to inform the design of displays, interfaces, and systems in various domains.
In the Ergonomics and Applied Statistics (EASt) Lab our researchers:
Analyze and develop strategies for implementing industrial engineering principles, such as lean and 6 sigma, into complex systems especially health care systems
The mission of the Human-Computer Systems Laboratory (HCSL) is to improve the design of human-computer systems. The ultimate goal is to enable people to use these systems to carry out their activities productively. To achieve this, focus is placed on understanding the users and their tasks and making use of technology to meet users’ needs.
Funded by various federal and private sources, HCSL applies user-centered design methodologies to develop and refine human-computer systems for a variety of applications within the production and service sectors, including information and knowledge management, collaborative engineering design, quality and process improvement, and education and training. Deliverables from the research are used to provide client-specific solutions and are also integrated into the classroom to enhance the student experience.
