President's message
Welcome to the SEMS Newsletter!
 | |
Geert Letens |
The Society for Engineering and Management Systems (SEMS) is the society within the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) that particularly supports IIE members as they seek to advance the state of engineering management practice and research. Besides advanced engineering skills, SEMS stimulates discussion and knowledge exchange related to management domains that are critical to advance your career, whether as an academic or a practitioner. As such the SEMS officers (Geert Letens, Jennifer Farris, Eileen Van Aken) and the members of the newsletter committee (Michele Dekelbaum, Latanya Wright, Beth Cudney, Ryan Underdown) are proud to introduce a new value-added service that SEMS will be offering to its members: the SEMS Newsletter.
