Overview
Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary field of engineering that focuses on designing, integrating and managing complex systems over their life cycles. New and more complex technologies are challenging approaches to the practice of engineering and technology management and changing the needs of the modern workplace.
SMU Lyle’s M.S. in systems engineering provides a structured way of analyzing and solving complex problems across the product development or acquisition lifecycle. This, coupled with systems thinking and leadership skills, provides students with both technical and leadership skills needed to serve the current and increasing demands of industry.
At SMU, students can gain industry-recognized skills and a faster route to a globally respected certification. Lyle’s M.S. in systems engineering is recognized by the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) through its Academic Equivalency program. This means graduates who excel in designated courses can bypass the INCOSE knowledge exam – a key step toward becoming a Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP).
