Systems Engineering

Overview

Study can be on a part-time or full-time basis, and the program is available both online and on-campus.

Drexel's MS Systems Engineering is certified by the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE), and it is one of only six programs in the world to hold this distinction. Graduates will automatically qualify for the CSEP (Certified Systems Engineering Professional) or ASEP (Associate Systems Engineering Professional) without having to take the certification exam.  

Program Outcomes 

Graduates of the Master’s in Systems Engineering from Drexel University  will be competent in their ability to:

• develop and implement models and tools to enhance and optimize complex systems;
• develop and manage processes relevant to complex systems development;
• architect, design, implement, integrate, verify, validate, support and decommission complex systems;
• use systems engineering tools and practices to identify and execute effective technical solutions;
• manage system-intensive projects within cost and schedule constraints;

• consider financial elements in all complex systems solutions.

On-Campus work for International Students

F-1 and J-1 students are allowed to work on-campus while attending classes up to 20 hours a week. This work does not need to be related to your program of study, but you must maintain your student visa status while engaged in this type of work.
