Cullen College of Engineering  > Department of Industrial Engineering  > Systems Engineering, B.S.Sys.E.

The proposed program in Systems Engineering (SE) is designed to provide students with in-depth knowledge and skill sets to successfully develop and implement solutions to increasingly complex multidisciplinary engineering systems. The curriculum of this program will have a good balance between theory and hands-on experience training. Its objectives include:

  1. to provide students with a sound foundational core engineering education, along with solid education in SE including engineering probability and statistics, system thinking, system integration and optimization, decision analysis and risk management. 
  2. to help students develop holistic viewpoints and methodologies that look at all sub-systems of a complex system and how these sub-systems can be integrated efficiently and effectively to produce the best quality product meeting end-customers’ needs and serving shareholders’ interests.
  3. to provide students with hands-on training through a variety of real-world applications across different fields so that students can adapt their knowledge and expertise to different industrial environments.

Students in this program will complete their degree entirely in UH at Katy campus. All courses will be taught using face-to-face mode at Katy campus, online (i.e., asynchronous or synchronous instruction methods) or hybrid mode.

Requirements


Admission Requirements


Systems Engineering majors are required to follow all requirements and regulations outlined in the Academic Information - Cullen College of Engineering  section of the Undergraduate Catalog.

Major Change for Current UH Students


Students must earn a 2.25-grade point average (GPA) in all courses and in INDE major courses in order to enroll in 3000-level and above INDE & SYSE courses. The major GPA of 2.25 must be maintained at all times until the last semester before graduation.

The Systems Engineering Major GPA is calculated using all attempts of the following courses taken in residence at the University of Houston: all SYSE courses, all INDE courses, ENGI 1331 - Computing and Problem Solving for Engineers  and CEA 3201 - Computer Programming for Engineers . When seeking transfer credit for engineering courses, students are expected to include detailed syllabi, as well as graded assignments and exams, with their petitions requesting course credit.
