About
Systems Engineering (SE) at Boston University is primarily concerned with quantitative and analytical scientific theory, methods and tools that enable faculty and students to model, design, analyze, and optimize human-made and physical systems within a broad array of applications. SE methodologies usually account for such real-world complexities as uncertainty, constraints, multiple objectives, and the relationships among the various parts or subsystems that constitute the system being studied This, in turn, is driving the need for more sophisticated SE methods to manage this complex and interconnected world.
