Program Spotlight: Master of Science in Systems Engineering
Everywhere you look, life is getting more and more complex. As we use technology to create a better quality of life, everything from traffic patterns to electrical grids is being optimized. Systems engineers are at the heart of efforts to resolve issues inside intricate systems and streamline inefficient processes to create a better world.
System engineers have been in high demand since the inception of the discipline in the 1960s, when some of the earliest members of the profession worked with the space program and the military. The University of Texas at El Paso is proud to offer a Master of Science in Systems Engineering program in a 100-percent online format that gives you the flexibility to pursue your dreams on your own terms.
