- Study Options: Thesis
- Length: Two years (MScE), Four years (PhD)
- Entry Terms: Fall, Winter, Summer
The graduate programs in Systems Engineering prepare students to address complex engineering challenges through interdisciplinary research, systems thinking, and data-driven decision-making. Students develop advanced expertise in applying systems engineering principles to solve real-world problems across industrial, environmental, and societal domains.
Students work closely with faculty members on innovative research and have access to specialized laboratories and computational resources. Through collaborations with industry, government, and research organizations, students contribute to developing sustainable, resilient, and intelligent engineering solutions while gaining the research and professional skills needed for careers in academia, government, and industry.
