Second Major in Systems Science
A second major is ideal for study in many areas, such as physics, chemistry, economics, and computational biology. Students in undergraduate divisions other than engineering now have the opportunity to pursue a second major in the Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering in the School of Engineering & Applied Science.
The requirements for a second major in systems science are:
- ESE 105/251 (Introduction to Electrical & Systems Engineering)
- ESE 309 (Matrix Algebra)
- ESE 351 (Signals and Systems)
- ESE 403 (Operations Research)
- One of the following:
ESE 317 (Engineering Mathematics)
ESE 326 (Probability and Statistics for Engineering)
ESE 441 (Control Systems Design)
- Eight 3-unit ESE courses in the Systems area chosen from ESE 400 through 429; ESE 440 through 459; ESE 470 through 489; 500 through 529; ESE 540 through 559.
Students may petition to substitute systems-oriented courses from other disciplines for two of these eight courses (for example, courses in computational physics, mathematical economics, or computational mathematics).
Within this second major in systems science, areas of concentration are possible in: Robotics, Control Systems, and Operations Research.
This totals from 34 to 40 units of systems science, depending on students’ use of the substitution option for upper-level electives. To design a customized program, contact the departmental chair or the director (I. N. Katz) of the program.
