Systems Engineering

The Systems Engineering Program is designed to accelerate the development of systems engineers by providing practical experience that can be immediately applied. Students learn from industry experts how to develop operable systems that meet customer requirements, while successfully navigating the complexities of system design. Courses are developed and taught by senior systems engineers and address the entire systems engineering life cycle, including requirements analysis, systems architecture and design, modeling, simulation and analysis, and system implementation and test. The Systems Engineering program provides the broad background required for successful systems engineers in the 21st century.
