Mission Statement

• To provide education and research
  opportunities associated with the development of
  knowledge, tools, and methods required to make
  decisions and to shape policies, to configure
  organizational structures, to design engineering
  systems, and to solve problems associated with
  the information-intensive technology based
  economy.

Recognition

• Our department was ranked the number 1 program
  last year by the National Research Council in our
  academic discipline of industrial engineering,
  systems engineering, and operations research
  departments. (This ranking is carefully put
  together by academics, and is the ranking taken
  most seriously by the university leadership.) We
  are a key part of a School of Engineering that is
  effectively tied with MIT for the top such
  ranking among US universities, and contains five
  individually top-ranked departments.

4
Objectives

• Attract the best students, give them an excellent
  education, and help them find jobs in top
  companies
• Attract the best faculty and give them incentives
  and means to teach and conduct research at the
  highest level
• Partner with industry to assist organizations in
  meeting their challenges while expanding
  educational and employment opportunities for our
  students

5
Key Differences from Business Schools

• We are grounded in engineering (as reflected in
  our mission)
• We develop and use the tools of engineering
  analysis (e.g., systems analysis)
• We focus on technology (e.g, Work, Technology and
  Organization)
• Compared to the Stanford GSB
• We have an undergraduate program
• Our 1-year MS program is more technical
• We have a larger Ph.D. program

MSE created from the departments of

• Engineering-Economic Systems and Operations
  Research (itself the result of a merger of EES
  and OR)
• Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management
• Merger Date Jan. 1, 2000

7
Department AreasWe are an interdisciplinary
department with 8 areas

• Organizations, Technology Entrepreneurship
• Systems Modeling and Optimization
• Economics and Finance
• Decision Analysis and Risk Analysis
• Production and Operations Management
• Probability and Stochastic Systems
• Strategy and Policy
• Information Science and Technology

8
Research

• Focuses on understanding the problems involved in
  the engineering aspects of managing systems and
  technologies, creating appropriate problem
  formulations and solutions, and providing
  relevant decision support.
• We have vigorous interaction with other Stanford
  departments, Silicon Valley, State and Federal
  governments and various global organizations and
  corporations.

MSE Industry Affiliates Program

• Program Objectives
• The program is designed to assist organizations
  in meeting todays challenges while
  simultaneously expanding the educational and
  employment opportunities for our students.

12
Industry Affiliates Program

• Directly connects corporations with our
  departments vast resources renowned faculty,
  cutting-edge research centers and a thriving
  student community.
• Close associations with industry enrich the
  programs by providing opportunities to apply MSE
  methods to important real world problems and by
  motivating new theoretical developments from
  practical experience.

13
Member Fees

• Size of Firm Annual Fee
• 500 employees 25,000
• 500 Employees 15,000

14
Recruiting Member Option

• Recruiting Fee /per Quarter
• 7,500
• Allows companies to get acquainted with MSE for
  one quarter only. Eligible for student recruiting
  benefits only.

15
Research Sponsorship Option

• The fee for corporate sponsorship is negotiated
  according to the nature of the involvement the
  sponsor desires.

16
Research Sponsor Option

• In addition to receiving the benefits of
  affiliate membership, Sponsors work closely with
  MSE faculty to design and execute programs of
  applied research. Although sponsoring firms
  clearly benefit from a close relationship with
  MSE, prospective sponsors should not construe
  sponsorship as synonym for a consulting
  relationship.
