www.bu.edu/se SE offers the PhD, MS & MEng degrees. Research activities focus on automation, control and robotics, communication and networking, computational and systems biology, information sciences, production, service systems, supply chain management.
The Division of Systems Engineering (SE) is based on a rather unique interdisciplinary graduate program with select faculty from different engineering departments. The creation of the Center for Information and Systems Engineering (CISE) in 2003 brought together these faculty, all committed to cutting-edge research on analytical and computational methods aiming to design and manage human-made and physical systems spanning a broad range of applications. The growing activities of the CISE have naturally led to the establishment of a graduate program that emphasizes the common themes of Systems Engineering across departments and application areas. The Division includes affiliated faculty from the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Management.
The mission of the Division of Systems Engineering (SE) is to prepare graduate students for research careers or as practicing systems engineers. The Division provides a home across departments and colleges for faculty and students interested in the foundations and methodologies of information and systems engineering and in all application areas encompassing the modeling, analysis, simulation, control, optimization, and management of complex systems. Our graduates are expected to exhibit leadership and become role models as researchers or practitioners in the field of Systems Engineering and all related disciplines and application domains.
