Big Give is over, but you can still support your favorite programs.

Industrial Engineering & Operations Research Fund

Your gift advances world-class teaching and research in IEOR and creates new opportunities for excellence.

Simply put, faculty and students in Industrial Engineering & Operations Research (IEOR) make the world run better. Berkeley IEOR engineers harness the power of machine learning and data science for better products and services. They create new tools and approaches for design, analysis, risk management, and decision-making in complex real-world systems like supply chains, energy grids, healthcare systems, financial systems, and more.

Berkeley IEOR ranks among the top departments of its kind worldwide. With your gift, faculty members have flexible funds to respond to new opportunities and needs: advancing research and enriching academic programs for our students.
