Masters Degrees in Systems Engineering, USA

The master of engineering program at Binghamton University provides students with the balance of theory and practical knowledge necessary to be successful in the profession and is intended for students who are working full time and attending graduate school part time. Students may pursue the Master of Engineering (MEng) degree in either Industrial Engineering (MEngIE) or in Systems Engineering (MEngSE). These programs can be taken entirely online via EngiNet.

Utilizing the industrial resources available in the Binghamton community, students are able to develop a realistic approach to integrating both engineering and non-engineering systems such as those found in manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation. In this way, students have the opportunity to use a wide variety of industrial and systems engineering tools such as those related to modeling and simulation, statistical process control, scheduling, human factors, and supply chain management, among others.

Graduate Degrees Offered

- MEng in Industrial Engineering
- MEng in Systems Engineering

All applicants must submit the following:

- Online graduate degree application and application fee
- Transcripts from each college/university you have attended. Note: MEng Industrial Engineering and Systems Engineering applicants should have an undergraduate major in engineering or a related field.
- Two letters of recommendation
- Personal statement (2-3 pages) describing your reasons for pursuing graduate study, your career aspirations, your special interests within your field, and any unusual features of your background that might need explanation or be of interest to your program's admissions committee.
