Systems Engineering

Career Opportunities

The field of systems engineering addresses the current trend toward increasingly complex systems that exists across a variety of disciplines, including aerospace, energy, environment, and biosciences. The demand for qualified systems engineers outweighs the current supply of educated and experienced individuals.

With our graduate Systems Engineering degrees, you will be prepared to meet the growing industry demand for trained systems engineers who can develop and implement disciplined development processes to manage complex engineered systems and produce a quality and reasonably priced product. You will gain the skills and training to overcome engineering issues at a systems level that can be applied to virtually any field of engineering.

Energy Systems is one broad area where Systems Engineering is particularly salient. The need for clean sustainable energy is one of the great technical challenges of the 21st century. Enormous progress has been made in recent years in technologies such as biofuels, solar, and wind energy generation, but a great deal of further research is required to make the vision of large scale renewable energy systems a practical reality. Many of these research areas, such as the development of smart, reliable, secure distribution grids, require a systems engineering approach, due to the inherent complexity and multidisciplinary nature of the problems.
