Graduate Programs

Master's Programs

The MS in Systems Engineering (SE) program is accepting applications for Fall 2009.

The Master’s program is designed to provide graduate students with the quantitative and analytical science theory, methods and tools that will enable them to model, design, analyze, and optimize human-made and physical systems within a broad array of applications. SE methodologies usually account for such real-world complexities as uncertainty, constraints, multiple objectives, and the relationships among the various parts or subsystems that constitute the system being studied.

Skill emphasis is on problem formulation, system performance evaluation and analysis, and optimal decision making based on quantitative methods including mathematical programming for structured constrained optimization, combinatorial optimization for unstructured (non-convex) problems, stochastic analysis and optimization for systems under uncertainty, probability theory and statistical inference for identification and data processing.
