The Advanced System Engineering Laboratory (ASEL) is a research laboratory started within the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering at North Dakota State University (NDSU) in 2017. Now, ASEL's partnership has grown to include multiple national/international universities, tribal colleges, and state/federal agencies' programs.

ASEL focuses on the multidisciplinary development of theories, methodologies, and applications in designing safer, more resilient, more sustainable (longer-lasting), and lower-cost engineered systems. Current research thrusts in ASEL include:

- Modeling and optimization of complex networked systems
- Predictive failure analysis and failure recovery schemes
- Development of data-driven decision making processes under uncertainties
- Process parameter optimization for additive manufacturing
- Reliability and resilience assessment in cyber-physical systems
