Systems Engineering

Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary field that ensures the successful realization of complex systems. Our Master of Science in Systems Engineering program prepares engineers to act as the key interface between management, customers, suppliers, and specialty engineers throughout the systems development process. Unlike other engineering disciplines that focus on specific parts of a system like electronics, mechanics, or software, systems engineers concentrate on integrating these elements into a coherent and effective whole.

Systems engineers bring a unique perspective to the engineering process, including top-level functional design, project management, life cycle cost analysis and product lifecycle management.
