Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary and collaborative field that integrates mathematics, engineering, social and physical sciences, and medicine. This program equips you with the necessary tools to conceptualize solutions for large-scale challenges across various domains. You will acquire substantial experience in teamwork-based problem-solving, preparing you for diverse career paths such as those in future energy systems, smart urban development, healthcare decision support, data analysis and decision-making, and infrastructure cybersecurity.
Students in this program learn theoretical concepts, computational techniques, and research methodologies within core areas like optimization, network theory, and uncertainty quantification, enabling them to devise solutions for complex, system-wide issues. Applications range from tracking and simulating the COVID-19 pandemic to improving hospital resource distribution, enhancing fair food access, and creating integrated, hazard-resistant, and cyber-secure infrastructure, energy networks, and smart cities. Participants will develop strong collaborative problem-solving abilities applicable to numerous professions, including roles in next-generation energy systems, intelligent urban planning, healthcare decision processes, data exploration and decision-making, and infrastructure cybersecurity.
The Mechanics of Materials (MoM) program offers an extensive research and educational foundation in computational and experimental modeling and design for materials and structures. Faculty work with government and industry collaborators on research relevant to aerospace, automotive, defense, manufacturing, materials, biomedical, and electronics sectors, covering multiple scales from aircraft engine design codes to machine learning applications.
