Systems Engineering in Industry and Academia

Systems Engineering

College of Engineering

• The Gift

• Departments– Chemical Engineering– Civil & Environmental

Engineering– Electrical & Computer

Engineering– Mechanical Engineering

Henry M. Rowan Hall

Our Program

• Electrical and Computer engineering topics

• Eight semesters of Engineering Clinics– Multidisciplinary, team-oriented,

engineering design, development and research

• Clinic “consultant”• ALL ECE courses are lab courses –

hands-on, minds-on

Rowan ECEs…..…. get jobs at major companies across the United States

….and go to graduate school atprestigious universities

Engineering Clinics• Research

– National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, NASA, Navy, US Department of Energy, NJ Office of Clean Energy, etc.

– Vertically integrated with the graduate program

– 30% of graduating ECE seniors in Ju/Se clinics have stayed on for MS program

• Development– Lockheed-Martin, Cooper’s

Ferry, SunTechnics, Kaneka, NJ State Police, Exxon-Mobil, Thomson Consumer Electronics, PSEG, etc.

Our Facilities: Rowan Hall• Integrated Lab/Lecture

– 204/206: Mixed signals lab with telecommunications test and measurement equipment

– 237/238: Digital systems lab with FPGA digital design and simulation capability

– 221: Unix (Sun Workstation) lab

• Tech Support– 203/205: Calibration/Metrology– 240: Fabrication/Prototyping

204/206: Mixed Signals

Systems Engineering

Systems Engineering @Rowan• Leverage existing strengths and identify new

areas for development• Strategies to create flexible programs, that can

be implemented incrementally based on student enrollment, and can respond rapidly to market demand

• BS in core discipline (e.g. ECE, ME, CEE, ChE, CS) with concentration in SE

• MS in Engineering with specialization in SE

SE Task Force• Dr. Ganesh Baliga – Computer Science• Dr. Cindi Hasit – Office of the Provost• Dr. Mira Lalovic-Hand – Graduate School• Dr. Shreekanth Mandayam – Electrical & Computer

Engineering (Chair)• Dr. Ravi Ramachandran – Electrical & Computer

Engineering• Dr. Adrian Rusu – Computer Science• Dr. Beena Sukumaran – Civil & Environmental

Engineering• Dr. Jia Wang – Accounting & Finance

Consensus

• Graduates from current undergraduate SE programs in the nation do not possess sufficient skills to contribute effectively as systems engineers in their respective industries; and

• A “domain focus” is essential in a program offering SE degrees.
