Systems Engineering
College of Engineering
• The Gift
• Departments– Chemical Engineering– Civil & Environmental
Engineering– Electrical & Computer
Engineering– Mechanical Engineering
Henry M. Rowan Hall
Our Program
• Electrical and Computer engineering topics
• Eight semesters of Engineering Clinics– Multidisciplinary, team-oriented,
engineering design, development and research
• Clinic “consultant”• ALL ECE courses are lab courses –
hands-on, minds-on
Rowan ECEs…..…. get jobs at major companies across the United States
….and go to graduate school atprestigious universities

Engineering Clinics• Research
– National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, NASA, Navy, US Department of Energy, NJ Office of Clean Energy, etc.
– Vertically integrated with the graduate program
– 30% of graduating ECE seniors in Ju/Se clinics have stayed on for MS program
• Development– Lockheed-Martin, Cooper’s
Ferry, SunTechnics, Kaneka, NJ State Police, Exxon-Mobil, Thomson Consumer Electronics, PSEG, etc.
Our Facilities: Rowan Hall• Integrated Lab/Lecture
– 204/206: Mixed signals lab with telecommunications test and measurement equipment
– 237/238: Digital systems lab with FPGA digital design and simulation capability
– 221: Unix (Sun Workstation) lab
• Tech Support– 203/205: Calibration/Metrology– 240: Fabrication/Prototyping
204/206: Mixed Signals
237/238: Digital Systems201: Music/Signals/Systems

Systems Engineering
Systems Engineering @Rowan• Leverage existing strengths and identify new
areas for development• Strategies to create flexible programs, that can
be implemented incrementally based on student enrollment, and can respond rapidly to market demand
• BS in core discipline (e.g. ECE, ME, CEE, ChE, CS) with concentration in SE
• MS in Engineering with specialization in SE
SE Task Force• Dr. Ganesh Baliga – Computer Science• Dr. Cindi Hasit – Office of the Provost• Dr. Mira Lalovic-Hand – Graduate School• Dr. Shreekanth Mandayam – Electrical & Computer
Engineering (Chair)• Dr. Ravi Ramachandran – Electrical & Computer
Engineering• Dr. Adrian Rusu – Computer Science• Dr. Beena Sukumaran – Civil & Environmental
Engineering• Dr. Jia Wang – Accounting & Finance

Consensus
• Graduates from current undergraduate SE programs in the nation do not possess sufficient skills to contribute effectively as systems engineers in their respective industries; and
• A “domain focus” is essential in a program offering SE degrees.
