SYSTEMS ENGINEERING

Designing Integrated Solutions to Complex Problems

Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary approach to solving complex problems through the development of

integrated system solutions. It focuses on defining custom-er needs and documenting requirements early in the devel-

opment cycle then proceeding with designing, validating and implementing innovative solutions while considering

both the business and the technical needs of all stakehold-ers. Systems engineers lead a team effort that integrates

various disciplines through a structured development pro-cess that begins with an initial concept and leads ultimately

to system production and successful operation.

The Systems Engineering program is accredited by the

Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET,

http://www.abet.org

Applies engineering principles to understand real world problems

Prepares cadets for the everyday challenges faced by Army officers

Provides the foundation for a wide spectrum of graduate degrees

The Systems Advanced Individual Academic Development (AIAD) program provides cadets with an opportunity to observe and

implement concepts from their course work in Systems Engineer-ing and Engineering Management over several weeks during a

summer internship.

Each spring, the Department of Systems Engineering utilizes West Point’s projects day to host a Cadet Capstone Conference. The conference features works from undergraduate students

from West Point and a number of other universities. Students present their work to an audience of fellow students, judges, clients and professors. Winners receive an award at the Cap-

stone Banquet later that evening.

”Studying Systems at West Point was one of the most im-portant things I did to prepare to be an Army officer. Not

only did it prepare me for the problem solving and technical skills to succeed, it exposed me to the best officers and men-tors I have since met in the Army. Learning from my Systems

professors about Army leadership helped me develop my own leadership style and made me a far better officer. All
