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.
