Description of the
Program
Systems Engineering is
concerned with the design, production, and maintenance of
reliable systems within cost and time constraints. Systems
Engineers apply an appropriate combination of theories and
tools that are carried out through the use of a suitable
methodology, and a set of system management procedures, to
address real world problems that are often of large scale
and scope. Systems engineering activities vary from
requirement definition or specification to the conceptual
and functional development of systems.
The systems engineering program aims to provide the students
with the basic concepts, tools and methods useful in dealing
with complex systems, which can be considered as a single
unit with regard to functions and tasks. A complex system
generally includes various types of subsystems, such as:
technological, human, biological, environmental, industrial,
social, political and economic ones. A systems engineering
programs study the problems related to modeling, decision-making,
control and optimization of such systems, it also considers
the relationship and interactions among various components
of the systems. The computer plays a central role not only
for engineering and mathematical computations but also for
simulation, automatic task allocation and other information
evaluation processes.
The graduate program of Systems Engineering is designed to
provide an in-depth coverage of selected research and
application areas in various components of a complex system.
