Executive MS SE Degree Program
Objective
A program designed for highly motivated engineers, analysts, team
leaders, and technical managers who are typically employed fulltime and have one of the following objectives:
• become an entry-level systems engineer
• update systems engineering skills
• progress in rank as a system engineer
• develop “system thinking” skills to prepare for
–a management position
–progression as a design engineer or analyst
–the unpredictable and ever-changing future

Department of Engineering Management, Information & Systems
Systems Engineering Program
Executive MS SE Program - Overview
• The program objective is to provide education – theory and
application – in systems engineering, analysis and management
principles, methods and practices for development and
management of systems (products and services) that satisfy
customer requirements considering engineering, technology,
environmental, management, risk, and economic factors by
viewing the system as a whole, over its life cycle.
• Systems engineering, analysis and management courses provide
principles, methods and practices that are applicable to
development and management of all systems, through they are
taught primarily by professors with aerospace and defense
experience (Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman/Vought,
Raytheon, Texas Instruments and U.S. Navy).
