Welcome to the Department of Systems Engineering
The University of Texas at Dallas

Welcome to the Department of Systems Engineering at UT Dallas. Systems engineering is all about designing, integrating and managing complex systems — ensuring all parts work together to deliver exceptional performance. Our educational programs and research reflect this big-picture approach, and our faculty are here to help you succeed.

Our faculty are leaders in the field — Fellows of IEEE, ASME and IFAC — and recipients of some of the most prestigious awards in engineering and control systems. From the Ragazzini Award to the Nichols Medal, their achievements set a high bar for excellence that we expect our entire team to uphold.

I am honored to lead the department at an exciting time. Building on the success of our master’s program in systems engineering and management, we are launching our first Bachelor of Science in Systems Engineering cohort in Fall 2025. This new degree is broad and flexible, allowing students to combine engineering with fields like business or healthcare. With systems engineering graduates among the best-compensated engineers in the nation, the career possibilities are outstanding.

We aim to add other programs in the future, which will give us a complete set of academic programs and strengthen our role as a leader in education and research.

From world-class faculty to cutting-edge programs in systems engineering, robotics and control systems, we are building the future of this dynamic field. We invite you to join us on this journey.
