WHAT IS SYSE?

WHAT IS SYSTEMS ENGINEERING?

Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on the design, modeling, interconnection and management of large, complex systems. In addition to the methods of traditional engineering, systems engineering requires skills and expertise in areas including optimization, simulation, economics, finance, risk management and effective decision making through uncertain conditions. These core skills are applied to solve challenges as diverse as constructing an automobile or an airplane, refining corporate communication systems, tracking financial markets, or constructing a power grid.

SYSTEMS ENGINEERING AT UT DALLAS

The Department of Systems Engineering (SYSE) at UT Dallas focuses its research and curriculum on the fundamentals of systems engineering and management, with applications in interdisciplinary areas of interest to industry, such as energy systems, financial systems, software systems, healthcare systems, cybersecurity systems, control and mechatronic systems, and many more.

The BS degree in Systems Engineering offers maximum flexibility for students wishing to emphasize a secondary field, such as data science, robotics, or even traditional areas of electrical, mechanical, biomedical, and computer science engineering. The MS in Systems Engineering and Management offers flexibility as well, where students choose a concentration in a related field of engineering or in systems management. Research opportunities exist for students in both the BS and MS program.

With top-tier faculty and curriculum encompassing technical and business applications, the Jonsson School offers unparalleled degree programs through the BS in Systems Engineering and the Master of Science in Systems Engineering and Management, a joint program with the Naveen Jindal School of Management. The MS program is interdisciplinary in nature, bringing together faculty from the engineering school and from the management school into a single program offering both traditional and professional tracks.
