Overview

The Systems Engineering programme is offered by the Systems & Industrial Engineering department at The University of Arizona.

Key Features

The curriculum teaches design viewpoints and methods and tools for modeling and analysis, and delivers design, modeling and analytical methods for sociotechnical systems in aerospace, communication, defense, health care, transportation and manufacturing.

It emphasizes that if complex systems are to do what they're intended, without unwanted side effects, they must be designed with imagination, technical skill, rigorous attention to the design process itself, and an awareness of the interactions among system components with other systems and society.

The MS in Systems Engineering programme is focused on providing design, modeling, and analytical methods for sociotechnical systems in various application domains such as aerospace, communication, defense, healthcare, transportation, and manufacturing. This department was the first Systems Engineering department in the country.

It was founded on the premise that if complex systems are to do what is intended, without unwanted side effects, they must be designed not only with imagination and technical skill, but with rigorous attention to the design process itself and to the interactions among the system components and with other systems and society. Consequently, the curriculum provides students with design viewpoints, methods, and tools for modeling and analysis that are especially appropriate for large complex systems.
