Systems Engineering Study Guide

Our students have broad interests, which makes it difficult to provide one, fixed advising guide. The table below gives some suggestions, which may be helpful. The director of the program is available to answer questions.

One of the reasons for requiring an e-portfolio of masters students is to encourage them to formally analyze their selection of electives and obtain approval from the director.

Note that the first academic year involves core courses, SYSE 591, SYSC 514, SYSE 573. It's highly recommended that students register for four credits of SYSE 590 for first summer, thereby completing those required credits and completing the framework for their e-portfolio. In subsequent terms, the remaining core course, EMGT 540, should be completedas soon as possible. Elective courses may be taken in a variety of different areas or in areas of concentration such as: management, modeling/simulation, decision/risk/reliability, or hardware/software system development. Those interested in systems engineering management (as we all should be :)), might consider SYSE 510MP. For more information, visit these other SYSE web pages: Schedule and Course Descriptions
