Systems Analytics Curriculum Overview
Data-driven insights and analytics are facilitating and optimizing intelligent decision-making across industries.
Intended to meet the need for professionals who can harness complex data and convert it into meaningful information, the Master of Engineering in systems analytics provides students with expertise in visualizing, manipulating and extracting important concepts from systems data, complemented by training in traditional systems decision-making. The degree equips students with state-of-the art data visualization and knowledge extraction techniques for the purpose of analyzing trends, assessing risk, discovering patterns and building decision models that can better develop, maintain and improve complex engineering systems and enterprises.
Requirements
The master’s degree requires 10 courses (30 credits) including six (6) core required courses and four (4) elective courses.
All elective courses must be approved by a faculty advisor.
Students are encouraged to select electives that lead to fulfillment of one of the many graduate certificates offered by the School of Systems & Enterprises.
