Systems engineering is trans-disciplinary and collaborative, connecting mathematics, engineering, social and physical sciences, and medicine. This program provides the tools required to envision solutions to big-picture problems in a range of applications. Youll gain significant experience in collaborative problem solving that will serve you in a broad range of careers, including those related to future energy infrastructure, smart cities, decision-making in healthcare, data mining and decision making, and cybersecurity of infrastructure.
The program provides students with knowledge of theory, computational methods, and research in the fundamental frameworks of optimization, network theory and uncertainty quantification, providing the tools required to envision solutions to big-picture problems in a range of applications. Examples include monitoring and modeling the COVID-19 outbreak, optimizing hospital resource allocation, optimizing equitable access to food, and designing infrastructure, energy systems, and smart cities that are interconnected, resilient to hazards, and cybersecure. Students will gain significant experience in collaborative problem solving that will serve them well in a broad range of careers, including those related to future energy infrastructure, smart cities, decision-making in healthcare, data mining and decision making, and cybersecurity of infrastructure.
The Mechanics of Materials (MoM) program provides a comprehensive research and educational platform in computational and experimental modeling and design of materials and structures. Faculty members collaborate with government and industry partners on research of significant interest to the aerospace, automotive, defense, manufacturing, materials, biomedical and electronics industry that spans multiple scales and includes everything from codes used to design aircraft engines to machine learning.
