Masters of Engineering (ME) in Systems Engineering
Have you ever
wondered how highly complex systems get built?
The world is getting more and more interconnected, and the systems on which the world depends are becoming increasingly complex.
- Modern aircraft, for example, have computers throughout them, for everything from fly-by-wire flight control, to telemetry in the engines that continuously reports engine status to maintenance engineers on the ground.
- Modern ATM systems enable people to withdraw money from their home bank account even from the other side of the world.
Such systems are complex, and are made up of – and interact with - many other systems.
Systems Engineering (SE) is the discipline of building highly sophisticated systems that work successfully.
- It is about the key creative processes that transform concepts into system designs, and the key technological and management processes that enable system development to proceed in an orderly, interdisciplinary fashion - maximising opportunities to meet customer needs while minimising risk.
The UQ SE program is modelled on
the Boeing masters program
conducted in the
ENGG7000 is the core systems engineering course, and a wide range of specialist electives is available. Click here for more details.

Access to
state-of-the-art CASE tools
Students will have access to a wide range of state-of-the-art Computer Aided Systems Engineering (CASE) tools in an especially equipped laboratory established with the aid of Boeing funding.
