Admission Requirements
In order to be unconditionally admitted to the program, students must demonstrate preparation for calculus by either having a 27 Math ACT score or having successfully completed all prerequisites for MATH 175.
Program Competencies
As leaders in the systems engineering practice, graduates of the BSSE program will:
- Analyze and solve complex problems using systems engineering tools and techniques.
- Employ their systems engineering education to design, operate, evaluate, manage, and improve various engineering and technology systems.
- Possess the human relations and leadership skills necessary for systems engineering professionals, which include proficiencies in conflict resolution, cross-disciplinary team building, mentoring, etc.
- Apply the oral, technical and written communication skills required for effective systems engineering practice.
- Demonstrate an understanding and awareness of the societal, cultural, ethical, legal and political issues prevalent in an increasingly globalized world.
Student Outcomes:
Systems Engineering graduates will possess an ability to:
- Identify, formulate, and solve complex systems engineering problems by applying principles of multiple engineering disciplines, science, and mathematics.
- Apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
- Communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
- Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of systems engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
- Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
- Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
- Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
