Master of Engineering
MEng: Embedded Systems
Most embedded systems require a high degree of predictability and reliability, and involve tight interactions with their physical environment. They differ from computation-intensive applications as a result of their concurrent threads of control and time-dependent behavior, as well as a variety of system requirements that include size, power, cost, safety, security, and regulation. However, the task of developing such systems is much more challenging than general computer applications as multiple concurrent subsystems interact with real-time signals and produce a sequence of interdependent and timed control actions. Consequently, system design and software development of embedded systems have become significant obstacle in meeting the market demands for functionality, reliability, and ease of use while achieving rapid product release cycles. The challenges of ever-increasing device complexity coupled with reduced time-to-market requirements of competitive businesses fosters requirements for new skill sets in experienced engineers. These rapid cycle times for complex embedded systems networks makes it essential to advocate a strong curriculum for professional engineers in the area of embedded systems development.MEng:Quality and Reliability
This track offers specialized courses founded on basic engineering and statistics principles that are central to improving quality, reliability, and achieving meaningful business results in today's modern business organizations. Students will learn about how modern statistical and engineering techniques are deployed in a wide range of industrial and business settings. They will also learn the basic underlying methodology so that they can develop novel solutions to problems that are unique to their own environment.MEng:Modeling and Simulation
This track offers specialized courses founded on the fundamentals and principles of simulation modeling and software engineering. The applications of modeling and simulation (M&S) incorporate state-of-the-art engineering advances with a focus on systems of the future. The main academic emphasis includes defense applications, large-scale computer and supply chain networks, software factory, and intelligent systems. Students will learn about key technical barriers faced by government organizations - e.g., those set to institutionalize M&S such as DMSO (Defense Modeling and Simulation Organization), - and others in developing increasingly complex decision-making systems. In addition, students will become skilled in M&S science, enabling them to engineer novel solutions for multifaceted problems that the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security, commercial industries, and private and non-profit agencies must contend with.MEng:Systems Engineering
This interdisciplinary program provides students the ability to engineer complex products, processes, services leveraging a systems engineering approach. This flexible online "anytime, anyplace" program was designed with input from global corporations and targets professionals leading major complex systems development or programs at their companies. The key to this program is the amalgamation of several professional association and certificate programs:- INCOSE-International Systems Engineering Society
- CMII- Configuration Management Institute
- PMI- Program Management Institute
Master of Science Engineering
MSE in Electrical Engineering
At ASU's Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering, faculty and student research teams are working on "breakthrough" knowledge, setting the pace for the remarkable spectrum of innovation that promises to revolutionize life and work!The online M.S.E. in Electrical Engineering offers area of studies in control systems, electric power and energy systems, electronic and mixed-signal circuit design, electromagnetics, antennas and microwave circuits, signal processing and communications, and solid-state electronics. A number of courses are offered online each semester.
MSE in Engineering Science
The ASU Fulton School of Engineering offers the ESIM concentration providing enterprise and technology managers a wide range of analytical and strategic methods in enterprise systems, innovation, and management.The ESIM program examines innovation across the enterprise, including product, people, process, strategy, and service. It's primary focus is on the creation of customer value through the exploitation of present knowledge, and through exploration and experimentation that generates new knowledge.The Enterprise Systems Innovation and Management program allows professionals the opportunity to enhance their leadership abilities, analytical thinking, and bring value to their organization and professional advancement.
MSE in Industrial Engineering
The overall educational objective of graduate study in industrial engineering is to improve each student's ability to understand, analyze, and resolve problems within complex organizations. Industrial engineers must develop qualitative and quantitative abilities to assist management in such diverse organizations as banks, government, hospitals, military, and manufacturing operations.The Enterprise Systems Innovation and Management program allows professionals the opportunity to enhance their leadership abilities, analytical thinking, and bring value to their organization and professional advancement. In today's global environment, business execution is becoming increasingly competitive. Managing resources, products, and customers across the globe magnifies the organizational challenges and requires more sophisticated systems, tactical thinking, and advanced methods of measuring, analyzing, and controlling performance.
MSE in Engineering Science
The MSEES with a Software Engineering concentration offers specialized courses founded on the fundamentals and principles of software engineering. The program provides the knowledge and skills needed to work as a software engineer or software task leader on both large and small projects using either agile methodologies or formal CMMi approaches. The program addresses major software development methodologies, techniques, tools and processes for both developing and managing software projects.The curriculum is based on the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK) under the leadership of the IEEE Computer Society. Each course will place an emphasis on applied assignments and projects that are applicable to the student's work place. The program is instructed by appointed professors in the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering-School of Computing and Informatics. ASU has a very strong software engineering faculty with members actively teaching and researching in the software engineering area.
MSE Materials Science and Engineering
The School of Materials at the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering leverages the synergy between engineering and science. Drawing faculty, courses, research and programs from across the University, the school offers students a state-of-the-art education in materials using a transdiciplinary approach to the study of materials.The objective of the Master of Science degree program in Engineering Science with a specialization in Materials Science and Engineering is to provide an in-depth study of Materials Science and Engineering topics through advanced course work and an introduction to research. This degree is offered by school of materials at Ira A. Fulton school of engineering and is available both on-line and on-campus.
Dual Degrees
MBA/MSE: A partnership with the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering
The MBA/MSE dual degree programs at Arizona State University combine advanced courses in technical areas with a rigorous management curriculum. That allows you to receive two degrees: the W. P. Carey MBA and the Master of Science in Engineering in either electrical engineering or industrial engineering from ASU's Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering. This foundational grounding in two leading schools gives you the necessary tools to succeed in today's global marketplace.
Dual degrees can be earned in a shorter period of time and at a lower cost than if the two degrees were pursued separately. Offered online, the MBA/MSE dual degrees require 56 credit hours of study over three years, including eight courses from the MBA program and eight courses from the MSE program.
New cohorts start in both January and July.
