Faculty are the foundation of the Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering program at UWM.

They don’t just teach—they shape the curriculum, drive innovation, and connect students to real-world impact.

UWM faculty are active researchers tackling challenges in sustainability, supply chains, advanced manufacturing, and data analytics. That means students learn:

  • The latest tools, technologies, and methodologies
  • Real-world applications—not just theory
  • How to think critically about complex systems

At UWM, faculty are accessible, engaged, and invested in your goals. They challenge you, support you, and help you grow into a confident engineer and problem-solver.
