On February 16, 2024, the McKechnie Family LIFE Home hosted Industrial and Systems Engineering students as part of the 2024 Institute of Industrial Systems Engineers (IISE) Regional Conference for Middle Eastern Students. IISE provides leadership in developing industrial and systems engineering. This student-run organization provides professional, social, and service opportunities for students at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Attendees included undergraduate and graduate students. Our tour showcased current research projects, innovations, and how the industry is changing. The students learned a lot while interacting with the researchers and the smart technology robots in our space. The students were intrigued and discussed the possibilities in their work. There were lots of great ideas that flowed and hopefully a future for collaboration! It was a very successful visit, and the LIFE Home team was so happy to host a part of the conference.
