Alpha Pi Mu

Contact Information

Dr. Wafik Iskander, Faculty Advisor



Alpha Pi Mu is the brainchild of James T. French who in 1949 was a senior industrial engineering student at Georgia Tech.

The idea was to develop an organization to provide a common ground on which outstanding young Industrial Engineers could exchange ideas, and to provide experience which could help their future professional development.The goals as stated by Alpha Pi Mu are as follows:

  • To confer recognition upon the industrial engineering student who has shown exceptional academic interest and abilities in his field.
  • To encourage wherever possible any movement which will advance the best interest of industrial engineering education.
  • To further unify the student body of the Industrial Engineering Department in presenting its needs and ideals to the faculty.
  • To create a closer student-faculty relationship by bringing together the needs and thoughts of both.
  • To assist and cooperate with all organizations and persons working for the interest of industrial engineering.
  • To benefit its members by the association and experience that can come from bringing together a group with similar interests, objectives, and abilities and to promote the professional welfare of all.
