Systems engineers are experts in the interaction of machines, people, materials, energy, software and hardware.
Students earning the Bachelor of Science in Systems Engineering do projects and conduct research in supply chain management, smart manufacturing and transportation, and autonomous surveillance, for example.
Fundamental systems engineering concepts include requirements analysis, system architecture, system integration, verification and validation, and system lifecycle management.
Requirements analysis involves understanding and documenting the needs and constraints of the system.
To get certified, you must have a bachelor's degree and four years of experience working in the field.
You must also pass an exam.
In some states, systems engineers must have a license.
For instance, in California, systems engineers must get licensed as professional engineers (PE).
