| Why EM?> |  "The engineers' role has changed from performing solely technical
operations to being involved in the integration of engineering,
technology and business operations. The Engineering Management
discipline fills this critical education need by graduating engineers
who understand the increasing demand for efficiency, effectiveness, and
integration in engineering and business operations across varied industries."

Systems Engineering
The Systems Engineering degree is a multidisciplinary program that includes a blend of engineering, systems thinking, and management subjects. Graduates from this program will be prepared to work effectively at the interface between engineering and management and to assume professional positions of increasing responsibility. The program consists of ten courses (six core and four advisor directed electives):
SYS/SDOE 625 Fundamentals of Systems Engineering
SYS/SDOE 650 System Architecture and Design
EM/SDOE 612 Project Management for Complex Systems
SYS/SDOE 605 Systems Integration
SYS/SDOE 800 Special Problems in Systems Engineering
One SYS Elective in a quantitative course to include SYS/SDOE 611, SYS/SDOE 660, SYS 670, or other as approved by your advisor.
Students wishing to pursue the thesis option will take 6 credit hours of SYS 900 and not take SYS 800 and the SYS elective. Only full time, resident students have the option to NOT take either a 3 or 6-hour projects class or a thesis. These students may take two SYS/EM/ES electives with the approval of their advisor.
Students are encouraged to take an integrated four-course sequence leading to a graduate certificate for the four advisor approved electives or four additional courses in SE, EM, or ES. Most of these certificates are offered on-line via web-based instruction. Approved four-course sequences include:
Agile Systems and Enterprises,
Engineering Management,
Enterprise Architecture and Governance,
Financial Engineering,
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Practices,
Project Management,
Space Systems Engineering,
Systems Engineering Management,
Systems and Supportability Engineering, or
Logistics and Supply Chain Analysis
