Doctor of Engineering in the Field of Systems Engineering

The doctor of engineering (DEng) in systems engineering addresses the widespread need for practitioners who can apply knowledge from the program of study in a business or technical environment. The DEng student engages a practical problem and takes a new approach to its resolution, applying advanced systems engineering theories and practices to research and recommend a useful solution. The DEng degree empowers the student—who is likely already a practicing engineer—to create advanced, hands-on treatments of complex systems engineering problems.
