Master of Science in Systems Engineering

When designing today's complicated products and systems, there is a lot at risk. That's why it's important to approach the development of products and systems in an orderly fashion. Companies must implement design processes that allow analysis of the requirements, requirements traceability, detailed documentation, modern design synthesis processes, and a thorough validation that the design meets specifications. Designers and managers also should follow quality assurance standards and use project management techniques to make sure requirements for budgets, schedules, and quality go through.

Our Master of Science in Systems Engineering program provides students with the essential skills needed to be successful - skills that could take years of experience to learn on the job. Designed by industry experts, this program meets all the needs for systems engineering students.

Just what skills will I acquire?

Graduates of our Master of Science in Systems Engineering program will be capable of:

Planning, managing, and participating in the SE life-cycle process and sub-processes from both industrial and government contractor perspectives.
Applying modern SE tools, for example, operations research, process control, synthesis techniques, system integration tools, and system modeling.
Defining the scope and role of SE and its interfacing with project management, logistics, operations, performance, test, manufacturing, quality assurance, and other related areas.
Applying appropriate industry and government standards, as well as models, metrics, and documentation standards incorporated in SE practice.
Demonstrating the oral and written communications skills necessary to the SE process.
