The forward-looking programs equip students to understand the integration of diverse components needed to create complex systems. Graduates develop a strong core understanding of the concepts of systems engineering, mechanical systems engineering, and electrical and computer systems engineering. The systems engineering program is accredited by the?Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.

Programs and Areas of Specialization

Beyond their understanding of integrated systems engineering solutions, our graduates have all the specialized expertise required to succeed and be professionally licensed in their area of specialization.

Our department offers the following three programs:

  • Systems Engineering?program provides students with tools and knowledge to design, build, operate, maintain, and monitor complex production systems and prepare students for leadership positions in managing these systems throughout their life cycles.
  • Mechanical Systems Engineering?is a unique, interdisciplinary program which combines the strengths of traditional mechanical engineering with a core of systems engineering concepts. This combination allows students to look at mechanical engineering design from a systems perspective. Mechanical systems engineers focus on the interfaces between components where design trade-offs are informed by overall system performance.
  • Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering?program teaches the design and analysis of various electrical systems including complex networks, digital and analog circuits, control and power system,integration of hardware, software, and operating systems with the goal of analyzing and optimizing computer systems, including networked systems.

    • These programs are designed to provide a broad-based education in the design and analysis of complex production, mechanical and electrical and computer systems and include electives to provide flexibility to target a specific career area or acquire broad background in related disciplines. Electives allow our graduates tremendous latitude in career choices. Students may choose one or more minors, but a minor is not a degree requirement.
