From what I can tell Industrial and systems engineering are pretty much synonymous so I am adding it under systems engineering.
Good that I could be of a little help. Yeah, I wasn't certain whether you were considering the social sciences and historical studies either, but figured they didn't apply in this case.

Mod&Sim definitely is not covered under drafting, though. It usually applies to creating theoretical models of a system, making up statistical metrics and data formats, constructing a computer simulation, performing the simulation, analyzing results that they are consistent and as expected, then comparing them to reality in full analysis. It is a sort of meta-study in that it doesn't really define what the subject matter is, but sometimes the same model might apply to multiple real-world systems.
