About the Concentration
The 100% online systems engineering (SYS) concentration offers an area of specialization for students in the Master of Science in Interdisciplinary Engineering (MSE)/Master of Science (MS) degree. The concentration aims to develop professionals who are both well-grounded in interdisciplinary engineering as well as prepared to create and execute trans-disciplinary processes that result in engineered systems that are responsive to stakeholders’ needs.
Graduates will be able to apply state-of-the art methods in designing, analyzing, and controlling the next generation of complex systems that respond to rapidly changing environments. Application areas include next-generation air traffic management, sustainable buildings, intelligent healthcare devices, healthcare delivery systems, flexible manufacturing integrated with design, next generation transportation systems, and next generation intelligent systems.
Purdue University’s online graduate engineering program is consistently ranked among the top three online programs by U.S. News and World Report, 2024.
Students pursuing the systems concentration have the opportunity to earn a Systems, Post-Baccalaureate Certificate without taking additional courses. A separate application is required to be considered.
