Driven by artificial intelligence and computing, our Bachelor of Science in Intelligent Systems Engineering (ISE) prepares you to be a well-rounded, forward-thinking engineer.
Our program is project based and hands-on. You’ll design and build computerized devices and the systems that work with them, from your first class through your senior design capstone. You can also work with faculty on research—from day one.
You’ll work hard, and you’ll be ready to tackle any challenge.
B.S. in Intelligent Systems Engineering
Today
Programming robots to detect and avoid objects for a project that aims to use autonomous vehicles to transmit wildfire data to firefighters in the field
Tomorrow
Managing technology projects, leading a company, and teaching the next generation of engineers
Our curriculum combines intensive engineering and computing study—including lots of programming—with Indiana University’s broad, liberal arts foundation. So in addition to technical know-how, you’ll get essential skills like communication and teamwork. And you’ll do it at a university that nourishes creativity and new ideas, in a small, family-like department where the professors and staff put your success first.
In addition to completing our core curriculum, you’ll select one concentration that gives you in-depth knowledge and experience in a key area of ISE.
The concentration requirements are listed in the B.S. degree requirements, and you can see a suggested path for completing your degree on time using each concentration’s degree map.
This expansive field combines biology with technology and classic engineering principles. Bioengineers address biological, environmental, agricultural, and medical challenges in ways that enhance people’s lives and improve how we live in our environment. This concentration also has a premed option which satisfies IU’s pre-med requirements to prepare you to enter—and thrive in—medical school.

Computer engineering includes everything from artificial intelligence to building more efficient networks to making computer hardware smaller, faster, and more capable. Computer engineers are in high demand by a wide range of employers, including technology companies, financial firms, manufacturers, defense contractors, and aerospace companies.

In cyber-physical systems, computational technology combines with human or environmental interaction in “smart” networked systems that sense and interact with the physical world. This field provides the foundation for critical infrastructure, improved health care, and the interactive technologies that will shape the future.

This emerging field integrates concepts from electrical and materials engineering with nanoscience, designing atom-by-atom structures to create real-world devices with previously unachievable behaviors and performance. Nanoengineers apply sensing and nanofabrication technologies to a wide range of arenas, such as energy, food production, and national security.
