Systems Engineering
Systems engineers play a critical role in the technical management, development, and acquisition of complex technology systems. They are the professionals responsible for planning, coordinating, and overseeing group efforts that translate operational need into technology solution, and whose tools and skills determine whether a system will meet cost, schedule, and performance goals. Because systems engineers are central to a technology solution's success, they are in great demand by industry and government
EPP's Systems Engineering Program is designed for professional engineers and scientists who already have systems engineering responsibilities or who want to grow into this role. The program's challenging courses emphasize ongoing technical change and the technical, business, and interpersonal skills characteristic of systems engineering positions. The program covers analysis, design, integration, production, testing, and operation of modern high technology systems. It also supplies students with underlying theoretical knowledge and practical experience applicable to diverse disciplines. Highlights include:
- Classes conveniently scheduled weekday evenings and Saturdays
- Limited class size to maximize student participation
- Faculty of practicing systems engineers from Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, high technology corporations, and government organizations
- Teams of two instructors teaching each course
- Stimulating presentations of theories, methods, perspectives, and specialized tools needed to deal with technical issues
- Case studies, role-playing, and team assignments for developing organizational and interpersonal skills needed for successfully managed team efforts
- No thesis required
Programs offered:
- Master of Science (M.S.) in Systems Engineering
- Post-Master's Study in Systems Engineering
