Masters , Systems Engineering , 2000 — 2002
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. JHU'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.
