[웨스턴미시간대학교]Industrial engineer named national fellow(해외대학편입)Western Michigan University

A Western Michigan University faculty member was recently named a fellow of the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers.

Dr. Steven E. Butt received the honor during the institute's 2017 annual conference May 20-23 in Pittsburgh. Being named a fellow is the highest classification of membership in the organization.

The accolade recognizes outstanding industrial and systems engineering leaders who have made significant, nationally recognized contributions to the profession. WMU now has four fellows, which as a percentage of industrial engineering faculty, is one of the highest percentages of fellows at any institution.

Butt is professor and chair of two academic units at WMU: the Department of Engineering Design, Manufacturing and Management Systems, and the Department of Industrial and Entrepreneurial Engineering and Engineering Management.

The other three faculty members who have been named IISE Fellows, along with the year they were named, are: Drs. Tycho K. Fredericks, 2015; Timothy J. Greene, 1999; and Kailash M. Bafna, 1996. All three are professors of industrial and entrepreneurial engineering and engineering management. In addition, Greene serves as WMU's provost and Bafna also is a professor of engineering design, manufacturing and management systems.
