MS in Connected Systems Engineering

University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee

The MS program in Connected Systems Engineering is a 31-credit Capstone-based program which is offered by the Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Department in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, in collaboration with UWM’s Connected Systems Institute (CSI) and the Lubar School of Business. This program, the first of its kind in the state of Wisconsin, is designed for graduates with at least a bachelor’s degree in engineering and related fields, to reskill or upskill, and gain key knowledge that is necessary for current and future jobs in the manufacturing and service industries. The program entails courses in Industrial Internet of Things (IoT), data acquisition and data analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), robotics/automation and digital twins as well as the sustainability in technological advances, taking ethical and social ramifications. A unique aspect of this program is that the majority of the hands-on-experiential learning will take place in the state-of-the-art manufacturing testbeds and software that are available in the CSI. The technical elective courses will lead concentrations in industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, enterprise resource planning, digital supply chain management, mechatronics and robotics, artificial intelligence and machine learning, and cybersecurity.
