Think like a Systems Engineer: How to Solve Complex Problems Before They Become Expensive Problems

Think like a Systems Engineer: How to Solve Complex Problems Before They Become Expensive Problems

Dr. Erlin He will discuss how modern engineering challenges rarely fail because of a single component. They often fail at the interfaces, meaning when requirements are unclear, stakeholders have competing priorities, or early design decisions create costly problems later. In this session, we will introduce the systems engineering mindset and discuss how systems engineers approach complex problems by defining the right problem, understanding system boundaries and stakeholder needs, managing requirements and interfaces, and evaluating trade-offs throughout the system life cycle. 
 

You'll also learn about the program's curriculum, career opportunities, and how DU can help you advance your professional goals.

Our enrollment team will discuss the application and admissions process, with time for your questions.

We look forward to seeing you!
