Interdisciplinary solutions to complex engineering and management problems

Welcome

Thanks for your interest in Systems Engineering and Engineering Management (SEEM).

SEEM offers programs leading to Bachelors', Masters' and Ph.D. degrees. Please use the green links on the left for more information; but, before that, here are quick descriptions of systems engineering and engineering management:

Systems Engineering is an interdisciplinary area that designs and / or improves engineering, organizational and societal systems. Our students are exposed to systems, management, business and engineering concepts and applications, and have the necessary understanding and skills to work on and / or supervise multidisciplinary projects.  Graduates can and do work in a variety of different industries from energy to health care to homeland security.

Systems Engineering contains elements of Engineering Management, Industrial Engineering, and Business Administration. However, it differs from Industrial Engineering due to SE’s wider perspective to problem-solving and incorporation of more management topics; from Business Administration with SE’s next to s attention to technical problems; and, from Engineering Management with SE’s focus on science and math.

Engineering Management focuses on planning, organizing, controlling and leading primarily technical projects and organizations (although engineering management knowledge is applicable to both technical and non-technical problem-solving). Engineering managers combine management and engineering savvy, making them unique and highly sought after employees for a wide range of businesses.

For both Systems Engineering and Engineering Management graduates, exceptional oral and written communication skills, leadership abilities, and awareness of current global issues are necessary, and therefore, particularly nurtured throughout our programs.
