Systems Engineering Minor

This minor's primary objective is to furnish students with a foundational understanding of designing and managing complex systems effectively. While conventional engineering disciplines often focus on individual aspects (mechanical, electrical, civil, robotics, etc.), systems engineers approach systems holistically, encompassing definition, design, development, integration, and testing. The System Engineering minor integrates emerging technologies and forward-thinking applications into the curriculum, preparing students to navigate intricate engineering and societal systems.

Prospective students interested in pursuing the systems engineering minor are advised to commence Systems Engineering courses at the onset of their junior year.
