 The Systems Engineering Program stresses computer use. It covers, in an interdisciplinary manner, the viewpoints, tools of analysis and mathematical techniques of signals and systems, feedback control, analysis of data, optimization and simulation, communication of information, instrumentation and measurement. The orientation and training that systems engineering students receive at Polytechnic enable them to analyze and solve today's complex technological and societal problems.
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering administers the program leading to the degree Master of Science in Systems Engineering. Outstanding students should apply for financial aid in the form of research fellowships, teaching fellowships or partial tuition remission. Students wishing to continue graduate study towards a PhD in the area of systems may do so in the Electrical Engineering Program.
Goals and Objectives
The Master of Science program in System Engineering has the following specific objectives to provide students with the following:
- Skills and advanced knowledge in the design and analysis of engineering systems, including methods of modeling and simulation, methods for the analysis of signals and systems, theories of communication and control and techniques of optimization and of decision-making
- Training in using modern computers to perform analysis and simulation and to solve real system problems
- Baseline skills and knowledge in system engineering project management
- A basis for continued, lifelong learning in the system engineering profession
Entrance Requirements
The entrance requirement for a Master of Science in Systems Engineering is a bachelor's degree in engineering or science from an accredited institution, with a superior undergraduate record, including undergraduate courses in differential equations, probability, linear systems, feedback control and computer programming. Students with deficiencies in these areas may be admitted if they take appropriate introductory courses to remedy these deficiencies.
Master's Degree Requirements
