The proposed program in Systems Engineering (SE) is designed to provide students with in-depth knowledge and skill sets to successfully develop and implement solutions to increasingly complex multidisciplinary engineering systems. The curriculum of this program will have a good balance between theory and hands-on experience training. Its objectives include:

1. to provide students with a sound foundational core engineering education, along with solid education in SE including engineering probability and statistics, system thinking, system integration and optimization, decision analysis and risk management. 
2. to help students develop holistic viewpoints and methodologies that look at all sub-systems of a complex system and how these sub-systems can be integrated efficiently and effectively to produce the best quality product meeting end-customers’ needs and serving shareholders’ interests.
3. to provide students with hands-on training through a variety of real-world applications across different fields so that students can adapt their knowledge and expertise to different industrial environments.
