Assistant Professor Sreenath Chalil Madathil, Ph.D., led a team that observed drive-though and walk-up COVID-19 clinics throughout El Paso in early 2021. They used the data to develop simulation models to experiment with a clinic’s performance and reduce patient waiting time throughout the U.S.
The versatility of UTEP industrial engineers allows them to engage in activities that are useful to a variety of businesses, governments and nonprofits. Program graduates work at companies involved in the design, development, testing, production and support of engineered systems.
