Systems Engineering

Interdisciplinary program involving the following units: Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, and Data and Decision Sciences.

Systems Engineering has been receiving increasing attention worldwide, and particularly in Israel. In response to requests from industry stakeholders, the Technion has developed an academic program for training systems engineers as part of a Master of Engineering degree. The proposed program will provide students with the knowledge and professional tools necessary to successfully manage the complex tasks currently required in the field.

The degree awarded is Master of Engineering in Systems Engineering (ME).

The program spans seven semesters (including two summer semesters) and lasts approximately two and a half years. It is a non-research program and does not include a thesis.

Among the topics covered:

• Knowledge in systems analysis and the ability to review modern processes and methods throughout the product life cycle

• Ability to analyze the reliability of technological systems

• Knowledge in planning and the ability to make strategic decisions under uncertainty

• Understanding of product life cycle testing

• Familiarity with control systems design

• Ability to analyze and define requirements for software-intensive systems

• Knowledge of the integration between human operators/users and engineering systems

• Understanding of quantitative models for solving complex problems

• Knowledge of project management aspects

• Knowledge of economic models

Place of Study:

The program is taught in Haifa combined with remote learning. Classes will be held on Tuesday afternoons, and in special cases and during the summer semester, classes will also be held on Fridays. In addition, there will be an intensive workshop lasting about a week before the start of the first semester.
