Systems engineering is a broad-based program that extends the ability of engineers to work across disciplinary boundaries. It also develops the management capabilities needed in today's work environment. Engineers, regardless of undergraduate discipline, can develop the analytical abilities needed to design, evaluate, and build complex systems involving many components and demanding specifications.

The College of Engineering developed the master's in 1995 for engineers employed in a wide variety of industries.

The degree is 30 semester credit hours, including 27 credits of formal course work distributed among four broad groups: systems engineering core courses (Industrial Engineering 565 and 566), area of specialization courses, elective engineering courses, and elective non-engineering courses. The final three credits are a creative component, individual study on a topic with significant systems engineering content; the project may be work related if it extends beyond on-the-job assignments.
