System Engineering “Do I have to think of everything?!!” That’s usually an exasperated outburst to someone who isn’t doing his share of the mental lifting. To a system engineer, however, it’s a job description. Yes, the system engineer has to think of everything — a project’s technical specifications, how to coordinate the team of specialized engineers working on the project, how everything relates, how to determine what’s causing a glitch, and then how to fix it. The big, the complex, the fraught-with-complications. That’s what system engineers excel at, and that’s what our system engineering program excels at training you for. Prepare to take on the world. The world runs on systems — transportation systems, food-supply systems, communication systems, government systems, and too many more to fit on this page. These huge systems need men and women with the special talent to ensure they run smoothly. They need “big picture” people — system engineers.
