Cornell researchers express hope for the future of Houston’s breathable air: By replacing at least 35% of the city’s gasoline cars and diesel trucks with electric vehicles by 2040, Houstonians could breathe easier. Read more
The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) has presented Cornell University with an Academic Equivalency for students to meet the knowledge requirement for the INCOSE Associate Systems Engineering Professional (ASEP) and Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP) certifications. INCOSE first awarded this academic equivalency in July 2018. Now that this equivalency is in place, students who demonstrate knowledge of systems engineering through approved coursework will not have to take the INCOSE Knowledge Exam to get certified. There are 130 students who met requirements in... Read more

The Systems Engineering program began in 1988 encouraged by strong industrial demand. It began the next year with a single, team taught, interdisciplinary course. Soon thereafter, the program offered a M.Eng. minor in 1999 and then a full-fledged M.Eng. (Systems) degree program in 2001. At about the same time the program initiated some distance-learning classes. The distance-learning M.Eng. degree program for practicing engineers in industry and government was approved by New York state to meet industrial and government needs and launched in the fall of 2008. This very successful distance... Read more
