The ME SYE program is designed for working professionals who design, develop, field, operate and maintain today’s complex engineering systems. The program provides a broad understanding of the roles of a systems engineer and a thorough understanding of process implementation-from needs analysis and system requirements to trade off studies and system design consistent with guidelines established by the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE). Offered courses stress the system life-cycle approach and the underlying systems engineering process. Other courses offer the quantitative basis for conducting trade-off studies, computer simulation and risk management. Available exclusively online, the MESYE degree program can be completed entirely via distance.
Admission Requirements
The minimum requirements for regular admission into the Master of Engineering-Systems Engineering program are as follows:
- Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in engineering, mathematics, physics or a closely related field from an accredited institution
- An overall undergraduate grade point average of 3.0 or higher on a scale of 4.0 in all college level academic work attempted
- Evidence of mathematical maturity equivalent to the completion of the following university-level coursework:
- Three semesters of calculus
- At least one semester beyond calculus (advanced calculus or ordinary differential equations)
- Linear algebra
- Probability and statistics
- Two or more years of experience with commercial, civil or government systems engineering practice or a closely related field is preferred.
Students are required to request official transcripts from all academic institutions attended (excluding UCCS if applicable) as well as two letters of recommendation, submitted by the issuing institution or recommender.
Applicants who do not meet the requirements for regular admission may be admitted on a provisional basis subject to the recommendation of the Program Director.
