Description:

Engineering Systems and Computing - the application of systems thinking and interdisciplinary engineering to solve complex, multi-faceted, meaningful problems by analyzing, modelling, and designing computer- based systems, including biomedical applications, robotics, artificial intelligence, and human-centred computing. These systems typically include a heterogeneous set of hardware and software components integrated into a unified framework to achieve an optimal, computer-controlled system solution. Systems thinking enables the understanding and modelling of industrial and societal processes as interconnected elements working together to serve a larger purpose. Graduates from Engineering Systems and Computing are systems thinkers who analyze, model, and design engineering systems with the aid of modern computational tools. Students in this major have the opportunity to take electives in areas such as control systems, biomedical, robotics, mechatronics, embedded systems, internet of things, software-hardware systems, and human-centred computing.
