Systems engineering is a multidisciplinary engineering program. Unlike traditional engineering programs, this program take a holistic approach toward designing and improving complex systems, such as those found within manufacturing, logistics, retail services, and healthcare. To optimally prepare students for professionals in this field, this program emphasizes engineering design, systems integration, modeling, problem solving, teamwork, and communication skills. Careers in this field are in demand and highly compensated.

Program Educational Objectives

Notes:

Matriculation courses are shown in BOLD PRINT and must be completed with a grade of C or better.
Students must take at least 30 hours of natural science and math/ stat courses to meet ABET requirements.

Due to the cooperative education requirement, in order to complete this program in four years, it is necessary for the student to either enroll in co-op hours or coursework during the summer as well as during the academic year. If the student is not able to do so, this program may take more than four years to complete.
