Applied Systems Engineering

专业介绍

The Professional Master’s in Applied Systems Engineering (PMASE) is a comprehensive system engineering program designed to give practicing engineers the mathematical, scientific, and engineering foundation to develop, deploy, and evaluate various modeling and analysis strategies. PMASE students explore these skills by engaging in real-world projects and practical examples while engaging with faculty who are practitioners in the field.  

It is a rigorous graduate degree designed to build deep expertise. PMASE gives engineers an effective blend of business, leadership, and in-depth advanced systems engineering domain knowledge through application-based exercises, labs, case studies and capstone group projects. The degree program’s learning outcomes include how to:

• Develop systems thinking skills that support employing various analytic strategies to develop a holistic perspective of the relationships among systems components and the environment.  
• Develop the capacity to apply modeling and simulation to determine and apply the best modeling and simulation approaches.  
• Apply Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) techniques through system lifecycle.  
• Assess tools and techniques, resources, organizational systems, and decision-making processes for the successful management of projects. 
• Leverage skills and knowledge from PMASE program to learn and incorporate emerging systems engineering methods and technologies. 
• Create a foundation for the SE Professional Certification through the International Council on Systems Engineering (ICSE).  

The PMASE program is a collaborative effort led by Georgia Tech’s College of Engineering, with the Georgia Tech Research Institute, and the Scheller College of Business at Georgia Tech. It is delivered via Georgia Tech Professional Education (GTPE), the Institute’s continuing and professional education unit.

The flexible, innovative curriculum allows you to learn while you stay in your current job. Program highlights include:  

• A hybrid format taught mostly online, requiring three in-person sessions in Atlanta, throughout the course of the program 
• A mini-mester structure, offered each fall and spring, so you can focus on one course at a time    
• A student cohort model that encourages collaboration, networking, and community building  
• A team-based, hands-on capstone where you receive input from and collaborate with an industry sponsor to solve a real-world problem, and synthesize your learning
• Mandatory live video conference sessions two to three times during the course on Friday (1-5 p.m.) and Saturday (10 a.m. – 5 p.m.). You will receive specific dates before starting the program via our two-year schedule.
