Systems Engineering, Ph.D.

Florida Institute of Technology

Systems engineers work in many different fields including information technology and software management to defense, aerospace, healthcare, and transportation. The design, development, and management of computer and network systems are the most critical systems in a company. As a result, the demand for knowledgeable systems engineers remains strong, as organizational information processes become more technical and sophisticated. Individuals with a PhD in systems engineering complete a rigorous curriculum that advances their current career and prepares them for leadership roles.As a national research university, graduates with a PhD in systems engineering are seasoned researchers who have worked side-by-side with peers, professors, and industry leaders to create, observe, and analyze complex challenges and scenarios in their chosen field. These collaborations with interdisciplinary experts are an essential part of the program, and through the Capstone Design Project, students explore problem-solving techniques and create solutions that can be put into practice. A doctoral dissertation on special independent study topics completes the doctoral program.
