School of Engineering and Computer Science
Systems Engineering is an interdisciplinary approach and means to enable the realization of successful systems. The Systems Engineering M.S. educates engineers to serve as the primary interface between management, customers, suppliers, and specialty engineers in the systems development process. Note that where other engineering disciplines concentrate on the specifics of a system (electronics, mechanics, ergonometrics, aerodynamics, software, etc.).
Systems Engineers focus on the integration of all of these aspects as a coherent and effective system. They bring a particular perspective to the engineering process (such as requirements definition, top-level functional designs, project management, life cycle cost analysis, product lifecycle management) that serves to organize and coordinate other engineering activities.
The program is open to engineers with a degree in any field of engineering.
