Info for Students
The Student Research page serves as a central hub of guidance and resources for Systems Engineering students pursuing thesis research, capstone projects, or dissertations. It offers recommended self-paced training modules, outlines key departmental policies, and provides access to essential documents such as proposal forms and research methodology materials. This comprehensive resource ensures that graduate students are well-supported throughout their academic journey, helping them meet institutional standards and successfully navigate each stage of their research.
The Laboratories page showcases the comprehensive and state-of-the-art facilities available to systems engineering students, which play a vital role in their hands-on learning and research. These labs support a wide spectrum of specialized activities, including: the Systems Engineering Computation Lab, designed for large-scale simulations and modeling, the Systems Engineering Projects Lab, which fosters collaboration on team-based design and development efforts, and the Dynamics and Control Lab, focused on research in autonomous systems and control theory.
Each laboratory is equipped to support interdisciplinary experimentation and innovation, spanning areas such as electro-optical sensors, nuclear detection, and advanced systems integration. For graduate students, these facilities provide an essential environment to bridge theory and practice enabling them to prototype solutions, conduct experiments, and advance their thesis or capstone research.
Students interested in systems engineering professional certification can find more information on the INCOSE Certification page, which outlines how the Fundamentals of Systems Engineering (SE3100) course aligns with the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook through an equivalency process.
