CSU to offer graduate courses in systems engineering

FORT COLLINS – The fall semester at Colorado State University will mark the start of the new graduate coursework in systems engineering — a program geared toward meeting employer demand in the region.

The program is designed to provide a 12-credit certificate track or 30-credit master’s degree in engineering. Both programs are pending final approval, but coursework will begin online and on campus starting this semester.

The program is the brainchild of Ron Sega, the Woodward Professor of Systems Engineering at CSU. Sega, who also serves as the vice president for energy, environment and applied research at the CSU Research Foundation, sought collaboration with industry, government and other universities to develop the program.

Kaiser Permanente combines health care and coverage in one connected system to maximize employee health and minimize employer costs.

“Colorado employers have expressed a critical need for systems engineering education that will give their workers a broad base of knowledge that can be applied to complex systems, whether that’s in aerospace, energy, environment or other fields,” Sega said in a prepared statement. “We are trying to meet those needs through the flexibility of an in-class or out-of-class, synchronous or asynchronous delivery approach.”
