Bachelor of Science in Systems Engineering, Associate of Science in Systems Engineering

Program Objective

The program prepares individuals to apply mathematical and scientific principles to the design, development and operational evaluation of total systems solutions to a wide variety of engineering problems, including the integration of human, physical, energy, communications, management, and information requirements as needed, and the application of requisite analytical methods to specific situations.

Program Description

A changing global business environment is creating a need for professionals who can combine various operations including design, production, manufacturing, logistics, sales and service. Systems Engineering is an interdisciplinary field of engineering that focuses on how complex engineering projects should be designed and managed. It is a discipline that integrates the engineering and business elements. Systems engineers ensure that customers' and stakeholders' needs are satisfied in high-quality, trustworthy, cost-efficient and schedule-compliant manners throughout a system's entire life cycle.

Students in this program will develop the analytical abilities needed to design, evaluate, and build complex systems involving many components and demanding specifications. They will also learn innovative ways to perform risk analysis, manage complex projects, and create support systems. This program extends the ability of students to work across disciplinary boundaries as needed and develops the management capabilities required in today's working environment.
