Systems Engineering
MASTER ■ CERTIFICATE ■ ON-CAMPUS ■ ONLINE
The Systems Engineering program prepares engineers to coordinate the planning, development, and creation of systems in fields like aerospace, telecommunications, neuroscience, robotics, and more, creating a holistic view of complex engineered systems throughout the entire life cycle. This program is valued for its ability to produce experts capable of managing and optimizing complex systems, driving innovation, and leading large-scale projects across diverse sectors.
PROGRAM-SPECIFIC ADMISSIONS PREREQUISITES
Successful completion of all of the following courses (or their equivalent):
- Math: Calculus I and II
- Familiarity with at least one programming language
HIGHLIGHTS
- Earn an INCOSE Certification through completion of
ENSE621, Systems Engineering Concepts and
Processes: A Model-Based Approach, a core course in
the program.
- Students who successfully complete ENSE621 with a grade of B+ or higher can bypass the INCOSE knowledge exam, a key step towards becoming an Associate Systems Engineering Professional (ASEP) or a Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP).
- Be industry-ready through courses designed to:
- Provide students learning and expertise in systems definition, requirements, and specifications, as well as systems design, implementation, and operation.
- Teach students how to use commercial and open- source software tools for model-based systems engineering (MBSE).
- Allow for flexibility in technical electives so students can specialize further in multidisciplinary systems courses or enhance their skills in other areas like project management, reliability, and beyond.
