Master of Systems Engineering

School of Systems and Enterprises

The SE degree is a multidisciplinary program that includes a blend of engineering, systems thinking, and management subjects. Graduates from this program will be prepared to work effectively at the interface between engineering and management and to assume professional positions of increasing responsibility.

The Master in Systems Engineering requires 30 graduate credits in an approved plan of study. Credits can be obtained by performing research in the form of a master’s thesis. All courses listed below are for 3 credits unless otherwise noted. The program consists of ten courses (six core and four advisor directed electives):

Core Courses:

• SYS/SDOE 625 Fundamentals of Systems Engineering
• SYS/SDOE 650 System Architecture and Design
• EM/SDOEE 612 Project Management for Complex Systems
• SYS/SDOE 605 Systems Integration
• SYS/SDOE 800 Special Problems in Systems Engineering

One SYS Elective in a quantitative course to be chosen form:

• SYS/SDOE 611, SYS/SDOE 660, SYS 670, or other as approved by the advisor

Students are encouraged to take an integrated four-course sequence leading to a graduate certificate for the four advisor approved electives or four additional courses in SE, EM, or ES. Most of these certificates are offered on-line via web-based instruction. Approved four-course sequences include:

• Agile Systems and Enterprises,
• Engineering Management,
• Enterprise Architecture and Governance,
• Financial Engineering,
• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Practices,
• Project Management,
• Systems Engineering Management,
