Welcome to the Department of Systems Design Engineering. As you explore this site you will discover that we are an interdisciplinary engineering department with an undergraduate program that gives undergraduate students a strong foundation in engineering design, and teaches them to approach engineering problems from a systems perspective. The Department of Systems Design Engineering is a small department whose faculty members are committed to provide the best possible learning experience for our students. For approximately 40 years Systems Design Engineering has been graduating students who go on to become successful leaders in engineering, business, academia and public service. On behalf of our current students, our faculty and staff and our alumni, thank you for visiting.
