Some Ideas on the Future in Industrial and Systems Engineering
The past 40 years have seen the arrival and widespread use of computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), numerical controlled machines, robots, artificial intelligence, and nanotechnologies. Today, we manufacture devices smaller than viruses and bacteria, and we have the ability to see individual atoms. As technology continues to change, the role and requirements of engineers are also changing. Dr. Wysk provides a perspective on the rate of change for technology and engineering, while examining the role of engineers in the development of new products. Dr. Wysk's research and teaching interests include computer integrated manufacturing, particularly computer-aided engineering, planning for manufacturing, and flexible manufacturing systems planning, design, and control. He has coauthored six books and has published more than 200 technical papers. Dr. Wysk has held engineering positions with General Electric and Caterpillar Tractor Company, and in addition to Penn State, has served on the faculties of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and Texas A&M University where he held the Royce Wisenbaker Chair in Innovation. • Download Some Ideas on the Future in Industrial and Systems Engineering (MP3) For a powerpoint presentation of this podcast, click here.
