4. ABET Accreditation The Bachelor of Science in Systems Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://abet.org.http://abet.org In fact, all Bachelors of Science degree programs in the Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering and Engineering Technology are fully ABET accredited.

5. What is Systems Engineering? Systems Engineering is an interdisciplinary approach to designing and deploying successful systems. It blends engineering, systems thinking, and management topics. SYE addresses the business and technical needs of all stakeholder throughout the entire design process, from concept to production to operations to disposal. (from INCOSE)

6. Is SyE Related to Industrial Engineering? Industrial Engineering is concerned with the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, and equipment. It draws upon specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical, physical, and social sciences, together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis, to design, specify, predict, and analyze the results obtained from such systems. (from IIE)

7. Industrial and Systems Engineers… Make a Difference Everywhere! They rely on a combination of technical depth and business fundamentals. ISEs are people who get excited about solving problems - and find the quickest, fastest and best way to meet important objectives. Video

8. ISE is Different Focused on systems integration More emphasis on human interaction Information systems mentality Broader business orientation More direct process involvement

9. Systems Engineering #1 Rated Number 1 Profession by CNN Money Magazine –Great Pay, Job Growth and Job Satisfaction “Demand is soaring for systems engineers, as what was once a niche job in the aerospace and defense industries becomes commonplace among a diverse and expanding universe of employers, from medical device makers to corporations like Xerox and BMW.” “…many systems engineers say they most enjoy the creative aspects of the job and seeing projects come to life.” http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/bestjobs/2009/snapshots/1.html
