2026 Douglas C. Montgomery Distinguished Lecture

New technologies promise to transform health care and humanitarian assistance. But real-world conditions often complicate those ambitions. This talk explores why data, automation and digital tools don’t always translate smoothly into effective action on the ground. Using real examples and case studies, Dr. Yuehwern Yih will show how human judgment, local context and environmental uncertainty shape outcomes, and why designing technology with people and place in mind is essential for creating solutions that actually work.

The data science, analytics and engineering program focuses on development of new systems and algorithms for collecting, cleaning, storing, valuing, aggregating, fusing, summarizing, managing and drawing inferences from high dimension, high volume, heterogeneous data streams.

Degrees offered: PhD

The engineering management program is designed to provide the graduate with the competencies for effective management and leadership of engineering-driven enterprises. The curriculum provides a breadth of engineering science and design with depth in one specific engineering area suitable for practice. Degrees offered: BSE, DEng
Our industrial engineering programs concentrate on the design, operation and improvement of the systems required to meet societal needs for products and services. The program combines knowledge from the physical, mathematical and social sciences to help design efficient manufacturing and service systems that integrate people, equipment and information.

Degrees offered: BSE, MS, PhD

The discipline of informatics makes connections between the work people do and technology that can support that work. It combines aspects of software engineering, human-computer interaction, decision theory, organizational behavior and information technology.

Degrees offered: BSE
