MEng in Urban Systems Engineering in Chicago United States | Illinois Institute of Technology

Illinois Tech's Master of Engineering in Urban Systems Engineering equips students to create and sustain future-ready, eco-friendly cities. With over 70% of the global population expected to reside in urban environments by 2050, the demand for robust city infrastructure has never been more critical. Metropolitan centers worldwide grapple with complex issues in coordinating their transit networks, power grids, water supplies, and waste management. Professionals in engineering and urban development must view cities as interconnected networks of subsystems to effectively allocate and enhance resources.

Accordingly, the Urban Systems Engineering graduate program combines instruction across various engineering fields, providing students with comprehensive knowledge about urban infrastructure networks, their complex relationships, and how they operate as interdependent systems.
