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. You will:
- 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 flexible, innovative curriculum allows you to learn while you stay in your current job. Program highlights include:
- A graduate degree in two years.
- Focus on one course at a time by taking two half-semester courses each fall and spring.
- The hybrid format that blends face-to-face instruction and 24/7 online 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.
- A team-based, hands-on capstone where you receive input from and collaborate with an industry sponsor to solve a real-world problem.
- Visit the Atlanta campus three times over two years and meet with your cohort to network, collaborate, and build community.
