In its applied research efforts, the Center focuses on analytics techniques, operational improvements, enterprise resource optimization, sustainable manufacturing, and product development or enhancement. This research involves the utilization of systems thinking, information technology, and leadership approaches that add value to engineering education. The ESC conducts research into the development and implementation of enterprise strategies to improve the effectiveness of organizations.
Research ActivitiesĪ central mission of the Enterprise Systems Center is to work in partnership with the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering in both research and scholarship relating to systems optimization, information technology, operations research, manufacturing, and related fields. Over 4125 undergraduate and graduate students have benefited from experiential learning and leadership development through involvement with the Enterprise Systems Center. Since its inception, ESC has completed more than 1125 projects with industry and government partners. This is often a critical factor in winning highly competitive employment positions. Participation in these work teams, with ESC’s unique layered mentoring approach, provides students with a level of work experience representative of what they will encounter following graduation. The Enterprise Systems Center provides undergraduate and graduate students from all four colleges with the opportunity to work on teams with faculty and industry professionals to solve a variety of real world problems. The ESC is conveniently housed in Mohler Laboratory on Lehigh's Asa Packer Campus. Emphasis is given to innovative systems approaches to problem-solving.
Additional research initiatives focus on discovering new methods for collaboration among academic, industry and government partners through the use of advanced technology. The Center seeks to advance interdisciplinary research and scholarship relating to systems optimization, analytics, information technology, new process development, and manufacturing. Partnership and teaming on projects and programs is important and occurs primarily with the ISE Department as well as other departments, centers, and institutes. The ESC maintains a network of industry partner relationships to serve as a platform for Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) Department course opportunities, summer and co-op projects and leadership activities. This multidisciplinary center is committed to providing student experiential learning and leadership development primarily through industry projects. The Enterprise Systems Center (ESC) was formally established in 1995.
