Systems Engineering Masters


Program Director

Robinson

Today, powerful technical, business and organizational forces are driving an increase in the complexity of systems of all types. In response, a growing number of companies are assuming the role of system integrators. Instead of being responsible for the delivery of individual products, these companies are becoming accountable for the technical, cost and schedule performance of entire systems. With this Masters Degree, you will be equipped to respond to these trends. Graduates from this program will be prepared to work effectively at the interface between engineering and management and to assume professional positions of increasing responsibility. This 10-course, online, instructor-led program provides an interdisciplinary approach to the design of complex systems that will be effective, reliable and supportable throughout their operational life. The Systems Engineering Masters Program is offered through the School of Systems and Enterprises at Stevens.

This program has a core of six required courses and four electives.

Required: SYS625, SYS650, EM612, SYS605, SYS800 plus one SYS elective in a quantitative course from the following:  SYS611, SYS660, SYS670, or other as approved by your advisor.

For the four electives, choose any SYS or EM elective from the following table, or select courses towards any of the graduate certificates listed below.  Be sure to get your electives approved by your advisor on your study plan.

A Master's degree from Stevens' School of Systems and Enterprises available online.  Co-sponsored by AACEI, ACM, AIChE, ASCE, IEEE, NECA, NSPE, and SNAME.

If you're a professional with a bachelor's degree, you can earn a masters degree in an outstanding System Engineering program delivered by the same superior faculty who teach in conventional settings. You receive the finest professional education using rich Internet features -- threaded discussions, chat, bulletin boards, e-mail, file sharing, whiteboards, and workgroups for in-depth participation. You also have online library privileges, with instant search and retrieval of important databases. Courses are taught using the most widely adopted distance learning web system.

The course discussion questions encouraged everyone to talk. I am surprised at the amount of similarities between everyone’s respective fields."
