Skill-building training
Has it been awhile since you were in the classroom?
The Industrial and System Engineering department offers free online Skill-Building Training for students who would benefit from reviewing core concepts in the following areas:
- Math Fundamentals for Engineers
- Probability and Statistics
- Introduction to Programming
These are not designed to replace a full course in the topics. They provide a refresher overview to help students revisit concepts on which they may be out of practice.
Courses are offered online only.

Fundamentals of Statistics and Probability for ISE
This refresher introduces fundamental concepts in statistics and data science, with a focus on their applications in industrial and systems engineering. Students will learn how to collect, analyze, interpret, and visualize data to support data-driven decision-making in engineering systems. The sessions focus on statistical modeling, probability, and machine learning techniques, equipping students with the skills necessary to solve real-world industrial problems in areas such as production systems, manufacturing, human factors, supply chain management, quality control, and process improvement. By the end of the refresher, students will be equipped with the essential programming skills to support advanced coursework and research in ISE.
Fundamentals of Programming for ISE
This refresher introduces students to the basic principles of programming and computational thinking. It highlights fundamental concepts such as variables, functions, data structures and mathematical programming operations and libraries. The focus is on preparing students to complete programming tasks encountered in the engineering management courses. It is taught in the Python programming language.
Fundamentals of Calculus & Linear Algebra for ISE
This refresher introduces the essential mathematical concepts and techniques required for problem-solving, modeling, and decision-making in industrial and systems engineering. The focus is on building a solid foundation in calculus, linear algebra, and optimization, with an emphasis on their applications in engineering problems in production systems, manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare operations. By the end of the sessions, students will be equipped with the essential programming skills to support advanced coursework and research in ISE.
