BA/BS in Systems Engineering

Systems Engineering is an option within Simon Fraser University's Engineering Science program, offered by the School of Engineering Science in the Faculty of Applied Science and leading to a Bachelor of Applied Science degree. Students study electronics, mechanical design, and computer hardware and software, and learn to integrate these components into a single system, preparing for careers in fields such as robotics, automation, and image processing and analysis. The program builds on a shared core of pure, applied, and engineering science courses before students specialize in the systems option, with additional coursework addressing the social, economic, and managerial dimensions of engineering work. The general program can be completed in eight academic terms of coursework plus a minimum of three co-operative education work terms. Admission is competitive: applicants must be eligible for university admission and have completed Physics 12, Mathematics 12, Chemistry 12, and English 12, or the equivalent, and the program begins each fall term.
