The Master of Science in Systems Design and Management is an important field of study focusing on the complex engineering systems in a broad human, societal and industrial context. It takes an integrative holistic view of large-scale, complex, technologically enabled systems which have significant enterprise-level interactions and socio-technical interfaces. The establishment of this new field has been a significant step toward evolving the holistic engineering-management science needed to address the complex systems challenges of this century. The expertise to understand, analyse and build large scale systems calls upon the highest level of integration of core engineering competencies with social, economic and policy considerations. There are many public and private organizations engaged in engineering systems design and management. These organizations look towards widening and deepening their talent pool of mid-level professionals with formal training in systems concepts and methods. Typical job titles for roles in these organizations might include systems planner, system architect, technology strategist, system project manager, new product development manager, technology strategist.
