Systems engineers work with the processes of modeling, analyzing and designing technologically advanced systems. These systems integrate machines, people, software, hardware, materials, and energy. They are involved in robotics, transportation systems, healthcare systems, societal problems, and all phases of industrial and military research and design. Courses include computer system design, optimization methods, simulation, modeling, control and decision making. Study in the nation's first academic systems engineering department, where you'll learn about the design, modeling and analysis of technological systems used for everything from health care to homeland security. Systems engineers are experts in the interaction of machines, people, materials, energy, software and hardware. Students earning the Bachelor of Science in Systems Engineering do projects and conduct research in supply chain management, smart manufacturing and transportation, and autonomous surveillance, for example. They gain proficiency in how systems interact with one another other and society. Systems engineering undergrads have worked on exciting projects with major agencies such as NASA and high-profile industry partners. Undergraduates master skills for careers in fields ranging from entertainment to national security.
