and utilizing effective and efficient systems that are designed to meet a specific set of needs and goals. Because of this, systems engineers play a pivotal role in the advancement of how systems function, working with all facets of a system, from hardware to facilities, personnel to procedures. Take your engineering, systems and management training to a new level by advancing your engineering career with your online masters in systems engineering through UCF Online.<\/p>\n<p>This online engineering degree is designed for those with a variety of engineering backgrounds and this program challenges traditional engineers to re-engage their knowledge of the key drivers for the work they do. Gain a deeper understanding of the human, financial, software and systems-integration skills necessary to make project teams more productive, improve system and service quality and promote the advancement of high technology for complex systems.<\/p>\n<p>According to <em>U.S. News &amp; World Report<\/em>, UCF\u2019s College of Engineering ranks among the top 100 best engineering schools in the nation. Through UCF Online, students graduate with enhanced decision-making and problem-solving abilities that address the growing needs for tackling the complex and global issues that engineers face. Get started with your systems engineering degree and set yourself apart as a leader in this fundamental industry.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"pt-lg-5 pt-3 mt-3 mt-lg- 5 pt-lg-0 pl-5

Engineering (MSSE) - Online","degree_description":"<p>The Master of Science in Systems Engineering (MSSE) is a fully online program that focuses on applications of systems engineering in designing, developing, integrating, and evaluating complex systems through their life cycle. This unique program is offered in response to the growing needs of the industry where systems thinking, complexity, globalization, quality, and productivity are the key business drivers.<\/p><p>The MSSE requires 30 credit hours of courses beyond the bachelor's degree. This program offers only the non-thesis option.<\/p><p>This web-based online MSSE is designed to attract students with a variety of educational backgrounds and a keen interest in working as systems engineers, program\/project managers, chief engineers, etc. The traditional engineer and scientist often lack preparation in the human, financial, software, and systems integration skills necessary to make project teams more productive, improve system and service quality, and promote the advancement of high technology for complex systems. Systems engineering is a practice-based discipline that focuses on developing these attributes with elements of engineering, systems, and management.<\/p><p>Translating a specific design into an organizational or physical reality in the most effective manner, and with the highest quality, is the focus of the Industrial Engineering and Management Systems field. This program is tailored to meet the needs of a broad range of working professionals interested in leading systems engineering and management activities.
