In August, industrial and systems engineering hosted a teachers institute for the Material Handling Institute of America. The week-long, biannual event featured visiting industrial engineering, logistics and business faculty from around the world, including Canada, South America, Europe and the Middle East, learning new methods for teaching materials handling, logistics and facility design. The group toured Jo-Ann Distribution Center in Opelika, as well as a Hyundai facility in Montgomery.
