At Northeastern University, the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering is educating our students for professional and technical excellence, to perform research to advance the science and practice of engineering, to engage in service activities that advance the department, the university and the profession, and to instill in ourselves and our students habits and attitudes that promote ethical behavior, professional responsibility, and careers that advance the well-being of society.
Addressing challenges, such as climate change, data science, supply chains, rethinking/reshaping cities, sustainable manufacturing, refining health and well-being, and identifying new energy resources, in the coming decade is profoundly important. To this end, our department has identified key collaborative research areas, including Socio-Technical Systems, Supply Chain Resiliency, Intelligent and Advanced Manufacturing, Computationally Intensive Research, AI, as well as Multi-Agent and Human-Centered Systems.
