USA Science & Engineering Festival
UT Arlington graduate students Shirish Rao and Hadis Anahideh from Industrial Engineering, Hoda Rahimi from Civil Engineering, and Takuma Mitani from Architecture were awarded a People, Prosperity and the Planet (P3) Phase I grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Pictured below are Takuma, Hoda, Hadis, and Shirish.
This student competition grant provided funding to showcase their research using decision analytics in green building design at the EPA’s 14th Annual National Sustainable Design Expo. The UT Arlington student team and IMSE faculty mentor Victoria Chen participated in the expo, which was held April 7-8 at the 2018 USA Science & Engineering Festival in Washington, DC.
Their exhibit, entitled Better Buildings for Sustainability, included hands-on activities, software demonstrations, and Takuma’s own balsa wood building model.
About 500 kids and adults kept them busy at their booth. Kids were challenged to build a stable structure with toothpicks and mini-marshmallows, and the best structures were kept on display at the booth.
Dishita Mehtalia Awarded COSMOS Scholarship
The Center on Stochastic Modeling, Optimization, & Statistics (COSMOS) awarded Ms. Dishita Mehtalia the 2018 COSMOS Scholarship. Dishita will be graduating this semester with a Masters in IE. She has been assisting IMSE Professor Victoria Chen and IMSE Ph.D. students Khan Haque and Li Zhang on research on prediction-led policing. Their work uses 911 call data from the Arlington, TX Police Department, and Dishita has spent countless hours processing and analyzing these data for building crime rate prediction models to be used within a discrete-event simulation studying dynamic policing strategies. At the IMSE Awards Banquet below, Dishita is in the center surrounded by COSMOS faculty (from left to right) Bill Corley, Shouyi Wang, Aera LeBoulluec, Victoria Chen, Jay Rosenberger, and Chen Kan.

A note from our Department Chair, Dr. Paul Componation:
The fall semester is just around the corner, and we’re ready for the students to once again fill the rooms of Woolf Hall. Our returning students will see several changes in our department.
The industrial engineering computer lab, Woolf Hall 400, has been updated with brand new furniture to make it easier for student to study or just relax with your classmates.
IE Lab, Woolf Hall, room 400
Our Multi-Purpose room, Woolf Hall 425-A has also been converted to a student study room. It’s right across the hall from the IIE store so you can pick up a quick snack while your working on class projects.
We hope students enjoy the renovations and new furniture!
The faculty and staff are looking forward to seeing you all again soon. Enjoy your summer and best of success with your studies this fall.
-Dr. Paul Componation
New Office Ushers in New Era
Our office is ushering in a new era with a freshly renovated office.
So much has changed about the Industrial, Manufacturing, and Systems Engineering Department in the last few years, including a new Department Chair (click here to read more about Dr. Paul Componation), dramatically increased enrollment and graduation numbers, and now a new, modern office.
Julie Estill, IMSE Senior Office Assistant said the main purpose of the renovation is to benefit the students because of the drastic student population increase. She said the office’s new look matches the influx of new faculty and staff and processes that will be put into place.
The main office and the conference room got a whole new look, including replacing the old brown carpet with new, crisp blue carpet and painting the walls white, which gives the office a very fresh, clean feel.
Additionally, we replaced the long, fluorescent bulbs with stylish, square, eco-friendly LED lights, which really brighten the space.
Last but not least, all the old desks, chairs and couches were replaced by new, high-quality furniture to accommodate the high-traffic office.
As Julie Estill said, “It will be different and everyday is a new adventure.”
