Overview

About the programme

Systems Engineering deals with how different system components can work together to form a functioning whole. Energy supply systems, radar systems, transport systems and biological processes are examples of systems that can be studied. The technology also makes it possible to transfer ideas from one application area to another as it has its basis in mathematics (and physics).

Systems engineering research is important in a number of areas in society such as infrastructure, transport, health care and development of industrial products. It plays a key role in meeting current and future societal and sustainability challenges.

Systems engineering meets where technical questions become increasingly complex and when demands are placed on new theory to manage and analyse larger amounts of information and increased complexity with maintained requirements for precision, flexibility and security. This programme is offered at Blekinge Institute of Technology.
