Master of Science in Systems Engineering
Students in the broadly-based, cross-disciplinary Master of Science in Systems Engineering (MSSE) program at ISR benefit both academically and professionally by:
- Being exposed to a wide range of systems engineering principles, including software tools for modeling and optimization, decision and risk analysis, stochastic analysis, and human factors engineering;
- Becoming familiar with the financial and management issues associated with complex engineering systems; and
- Acquiring a deep understanding of one particular application area.
Designed with substantial industry input, the MSSE curriculum represents the University of Maryland's first multi-college graduate degree program involving the A. James Clark School of Engineering.
The MSSE program covers a range of topics, from systems definition, requirements, and specifications, to systems design, implementation, and operation, in addition to the technical management of systems projects. Students specialize in software, computer, information, distributed, control, manufacturing, and process systems, or in operations research. Drawing on the engineering, computer science, and management experience of University of Maryland faculty, the program makes optimum use of the university's advanced facilities, including symbolic capabilities, engineering workstations, and computer communication networks.
