Electives
A candidate must take one or two elective courses in addition to the required courses listed above. A complete list of all Systems Engineering courses is listed below. Typically the electives will be Systems Engineering courses, but courses from other programs may be taken with approval of the Program Director.
Concentration
A candidate must select four courses in a concentration. The candidate may propose a customized selection of four elective courses with approval of the Program Director. Some potential concentrations include: Software Engineering, Engineering Management, Information Systems, or Transportation Systems. The program offers three suggested concentrations: Manufacturing and Logistics Systems, Integrated Process and Product Development, and Decision Modeling.
For the concentration requirement, students are encouraged to take an integrated four-course sequence leading to a Graduate Certificate. Students should review other departments' sections of the graduate catalog for additional certificate options.
