What will I learn?

Cutting edge biomedical innovations like remote patient monitoring and surgical robots. Ergonomic equipment and machines for comfortable office spaces. Smart cities and intelligent, automated warehouses. Self driving cars, drones, and efficient transportation systems. What do they all have in common. They’re all systems. And with careful thought given to design, every individual piece within them works together to create a successful, cohesive whole. As a Systems Design Engineering student, you’ll build your design knowledge and improve how the world functions Take a systems approach when using your engineering, math, and science skills to find connections that advance technology and innovation. Examine the people, materials, tools, software, and other factors involved in engineering problems, then come up with a solution that innovates and inspires. You’ll also learn to assess how one change will affect another element by using a variety of modelling, analysis, and design methods. While studying the fundamentals of electrical, mechanical, and software engineering, as well as design methods and systems modelling, you’ll have the opportunity to choose from four specializations to become both well rounded and focused on what interests you most.
