Time Limit on Coursework

Candidates must complete all of the requirements for the degree within five (5) years. This time limit commences with the semester of the earliest course used in the candidate's program of study. Courses completed more than five years prior to the candidate's graduation term must be repeated or replaced by other courses with the approval of the graduate program director.

Graduates of the Systems Engineering program will:

• Apply the appropriate mathematical, science and engineering techniques to systems engineering problems.
• Identify the proper application of Systems Engineering processes, tools and methodologies to interdisciplinary problems.
• Generate, collect and articulate user needs and requirements for complex systems.
• Define the role of Systems Engineering processes and tools in each phase of a system’s life cycle: from inception through retirement.
• Compare and contrast the impact of engineering solutions and design alternatives in the context of acquisition, environmental, ethical, fiscal, operational, schedule and technological constraints.
• Describe how to plan and manage complex systems engineering projects.
• Outline professional and ethical responsibility in engineering efforts.
• Compare and contrast system and component-level alternatives using appropriate system analysis tools.
• Articulate technically complex ideas and concepts in oral as well as in written format.
