Program Summary
Fee: 
Custom program, by company request
Overview: 

This interdisciplinary program provides students the ability to engineer complex products, processes, services leveraging a systems engineering approach.

Systems engineering focuses on defining needs and customer requirements early in the development cycle. Systems engineering appears to be all things to all people. The official definition comes from INCOSE-International Council on Systems Engineering. The definition is:

“An interdisciplinary approach and means to enable the realization

of successful systems. It focuses on defining customer needs

and required functionality early in the development cycle,

documenting requirements, then proceeding with design synthesis

and system validation.”

This non-credit program was designed with input from global corporations and targets professionals leading major complex systems development or programs at their companies.

The key to this program is the amalgamation of several professional association and certificate programs:

  • INCOSE--International Council on Systems Engineering
  • CMII- Institute of Configuration Management
  • PMI- Project Management Institute
  • Lean/Six Sigma for Systems Engineering 

Students have the option to pursue the Master of Engineering in Systems Engineering for academic credit.

Who Should Attend

  • Systems engineers
  • Software engineers
  • Directors of engineering
  • Engineering project managers
  • Applications engineers
  • Systems architects
