Prepare to take on the world
The world runs on systems — transportation systems, food-supply systems, communication systems, government systems, and too many more to mention. These huge systems need men and women with the special talent to ensure they run smoothly. They need "big picture" people — industrial and systems engineers.
That need is steadily increasing as the world’s resources continue to shrink and cost effectiveness becomes paramount. Right now, the demand for industrial and systems engineers is actually greater than the current labor pool. That’s one reason why CNN Money Magazine ranked system engineering the #1 job in America.
See MoreWith an outlook this exciting, you need a program that gives you every advantage in training for the real world before you graduate. The University of New Haven program does that. Collaborating with each other, our engineering faculty, future employers, students, alumni, and business and industry professionals designed and built an innovative program that teaches you to:
- Apply your knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering in designing engineering systems
- Design and conduct experiments as well as analyze and interpret data to improve operations and systems
- Design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints — in other words, the economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability factors
- Function on multidisciplinary teams and communicate effectively
- Identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
Learn from professors who are dedicated to your success.
Our faculty are leaders and innovators in their fields, bringing both deep professional experience and academic rigor to the classroom.

Topics covered include influence diagrams, decision trees, sensitivity analysis, value of information, and risk attitudes. The issue of conflicting objectives is also addressed as a factor in decision analysis process.
-
Six Sigma Quality Planning
Improving quality and reducing cost through the use of statistical methods; statistical process control and basic experiment design techniques; well-known quality systems, including concept and methodology of six sigma (a quality management program), DMAIC process, ISO standards, quality project management, and commonly utilized six sigma tools will be the focus of this course. Plant tours and six sigma implementation cases will be included.
-
System Engineering Design
Prerequisites: SYST 3389, consent of the coordinator. A first course in a two-course, year-long design project. With a faculty advisor, the student works in a team of two or more members on an industry-sponsored project. Includes project scoping and definition, needs assessment and analysis, risks, standards and human factors evaluation, conceptual design, developing requirements, functional specification, and simulation of the conceptual design, testing, and validation. Work is presented through both a formal report and at a department seminar.
-
