Overview
Through Systems Engineering and related courses at Southern Methodist University, the student gains a foundation in systems engineering plus exposure to a variety of topics such as reliability, quality, logistics/supply networks, operations research, engineering management, software engineering, telecommunications and environmental engineering.
“Systems thinking” skills are developed, and these skills foster more effective practice for the engineer or engineering manager within the business enterprise.
Why SMU?
Our program has been developed in response to the growing need by industry and government for engineers who are not only specialists in a particular area, but who have a systems perspective in order to more effectively practice engineering and manage within the business enterprise.
The program offers flexibility for:
- systems engineers who are entering the field, updating skills or acquiring new skills
- engineers who need to acquire a broadening of their technical and management education from a systems perspective,
- engineers with upper-level management aspirations, and
- engineering students seeking to increase their market value by acquiring knowledge and skills necessary for engineering of products and services from a systems perspective.
