Systems Engineering (SE)

The Systems Engineering programs cover analysis, design, and control of engineering systems. The program focuses on the science and technology of industrial systems. They emphasize the analysis and design of systems to produce goods and services efficiently. Two unique features set systems engineering apart from other engineering disciplines:

(1) the particular attention devoted to both the physical processes involved and to the decision making components of the industrial environment, and

(2) the wide scope applicability of its systems methodology, not limited to manufacturing industries, but effectively used in all kinds of business organizations.

Programs in SE:
The systems engineering Department currently offers both undergraduate (i.e., BS) and graduate (i.e., MS and Ph.D.) programs in Systems Engineering. The B.S. program in System Engineering has two versions: either with or without coop. Both programs allow students to choose one of the two programs: (1) Industrial & Systems Engineering; or (2) Control & Instrumentation Systems Engineering.

Industrial & Systems Engineering (ISE) Program:
This program is concerned with the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, and equipment; it draws upon specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical, physical, and social sciences, together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design.; its goals are specifying, predicting, and evaluating the results to be obtained from such systems. Using mathematical models of Industrial Engineering/Operations Research for designing industrial facilities and processes, industrial & systems engineers maximize the efficiency and quality of industrial production and minimize the cost.

Control & Instrumentation Systems Engineering (CISE) Program:
The primary thrust of this program is to graduate engineers who can carry out modern automation technology of industrial systems existing in all engineering disciplines such as the petro-chemical industry, the steel industry, power systems, and the like, as well as non-industrial systems such as the automation of water supply systems and irrigation systems. This program emphasizes the analysis, design, synthesis, and optimization of control systems in order to provide the best means of controlling their dynamic behavior to produce favorable or specified outputs.
