Systems Engineering Program
The Systems Engineering (SE) program offers two courses of study - a Master of Engineering in Systems Engineering and a Minor in Systems Engineering
Master of Engineering in Systems Engineering
As a Systems Engineer you seek to diversify and take a holistic view of engineering. You are able to tackle complexity and uncertainty in various assignments. You want to innovate, and trade-off so that your choices are always the best. You see yourself as a successful Project Manager of interdisciplinary projects.
The Master of Engineering in Systems Engineering is for students seeking to specialize in Systems Engineering. Every year students from varied backgrounds opt to pursue this program. There is great flexibility for students to choose electives that align with their interests and goals. The core Systems Engineering courses are continuously evolving to accommodate industry expectations, student needs, and to maintain the interdisciplinary flavor which forms the very basis of this program.
Minor in Systems Engineering
You want to gain depth in your field of interest and learn problem solving techniques. You wish to acquire breadth outside of your primary discipline, and thereby complement your expertise.
The Systems Engineering Minor is for students broadly interested in Systems. The subjects required by the option are complementary to the student’s chosen discipline. For instance, the Minor for a Civil Engineer would be designated as "Master of Engineering in Civil, with the Systems Engineering Minor". In line with the student's primary technical discipline, 'Civil' would be replaced by 'Mechanical', 'Electrical' etc. It should be noted that the Systems Engineering Minor is not a degree in itself and students in the Minor must be registered in one of the Master of Engineering Programs within the College of Engineering.
Students electing the Systems Engineering Minor pursue two parallel streams. They are regular MEng candidates in their primary technical disciplines; and they are also Systems Engineering students taking common courses and doing project work with Master of Engineering students from other technical disciplines. Roughly half of a student's program is set by the requirements of the home discipline, and the other half is common across all disciplines for students in the Systems Engineering Minor.
Please refer to the Degree Requirements Section above to find out how you can obtain a Master of Engineering or a Minor in Systems Engineering.
