Graduates of the Bachelor of Systems Engineering (BSSyE) program will understand the multidisciplinary fundamentals of engineering and possess strong team skills to solve complex problems that cross disciplinary boundaries. They will understand current technology, but also be creative thinkers and have the flexibility to change with technology. They will be able to create sustainable systems, to adapt to the new global context and be empowered for lifelong learning.

Graduates can look forward to employment in the defense, space, transportation, energy and telecommunications industries, as well as many other fields that look for the knowledge and skills necessary to engineer large and complex systems.

Approximately the first two years of study are common with other fields of engineering and include several semesters of Calculus, Computer Science, Chemistry, Physics, and core Engineering coursework. In the last two years, the focus shifts to more Systems Engineering specific courses, such as statistics, requirement analysis, engineering optimization, and program management.

The Bachelors degree in Systems Engineering is a new program at SPSU. Freshmen may enroll in the program beginning fall semester 2007, sophomores beginning fall 2008, and so on.
