What is systems engineering?
Systems engineering is a broad field focused on the development and enhancement of all types of engineered systems, from phone networks and supply chains to business software. The International Council on Systems Engineering defines systems engineering as: “A transdisciplinary and integrative approach to enable the successful realization, use and retirement of engineered systems, using systems principles and concepts and scientific, technological and management methods.”
In the master’s degree with an emphasis in systems engineering, you’ll build the knowledge and abilities needed to comprehend complex projects in a holistic sense. This includes:
- Connecting system concepts and designs with their practical, day-to-day uses.
- Identifying potential problems that can arise in systems and crafting solutions.
- Understanding how the many components of a system function together and support each other.
