The Systems Engineering program covers analysis, design, and control of engineering systems. The program focuses on the science and technology of industrial systems. It emphasizes the analysis and design of systems to produce goods and services efficiently. Particular attention is devoted to both the physical processes involved and the environment.
The department offers a program in systems engineering and another in systems engineering with Co-op. Co-op programs are implemented in most technical universities worldwide. The student usually leaves the school for one or more semesters and joins a relevant industry, where he is exposed to real-life applications of what he has been taught in school. This exposure provides the student with a more mature outlook and has a significant effect on his understanding of his role as a practicing engineer. Both programs allow students to choose one of the two options: (1) Industrial Engineering and Operations Research; or (2) Automation and Control.
The main study areas involved are:
Graduates of both options in the Systems Engineering Department are trained to use engineering principles in the solution of problems encountered in environments and situations where a quantitative basis for decision - making is desirable.
Both options provide the preparation necessary for admission to graduate programs in highly respected universities.
