该专业专注于对社会及其人民产生深远影响的复杂技术系统。这些系统由三种类型的实体组成：a）复杂产品，例如飞机，轮船，陆地车辆和军事硬件； b）信息和基础设施网络，例如空中交通管制，高速公路，公共工程和环境过程；以及c）设计，构建和维护这些产品，系统和相关服务的组织，即企业（公共和私人，营利性和非营利性），军事指挥部和政府机构。系统工程程序提供与系统生命周期相关的活动的知识，包括定义，开发，部署和停用。
Engineering Management leadership has become a highly sought skill in today's competitive global technological marketplace. The Master of Science in Engineering Management degree program is designed to bring the benefits of modern technology and high-quality graduate-level instruction to engineers/scientists/technologists interested in furthering their skills in engineering management with specialization in the following areas:<br><br>Systems Engineering to manage activities related to the life cycle of systems.<br><br>This specialization focuses on complex technology systems that have a far reaching effect on society and its people. These systems are comprised of three types of entities: a) complex products such as aircraft, ships, land vehicles, and military hardware, b) networks of information and infrastructure such as air traffic control, highways, and public works and environmental processes, and, c) the organizations that design, build, and maintain these products, systems and related services, i.e., businesses (public and private, for-profit and non-profit), military command, and government agencies. The systems engineering program provides knowledge in the activities related to the life cycle of systems including definition, development, deployment, and decommission<br><br>Program Learning Outcomes:<br>Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:<br><br>Comprehend the fundamentals of systems and general systems theory.<br>Design discrete and continuous systems utilizing appropriate systems theory, operational requirements, and component integration.<br>Validate system performance with testing and evaluation methods.<br>Maintain system operations at optimal conditions through the application of systems management fundamentals.
