Introduction
Computer Systems Engineering integrates few disciplines and specialty groups into a team effort forming a structured development process that proceeds from concept to production to operation. MSc. (Computer Systems Engineering) programme is the integration of systems engineering, software engineering and computer engineering knowledge. This programme will produce graduates who can work in a career related to the field of technology-driven and interdisciplinary or multi-technology in nature. They are able to design, develop and integrate between software and hardware that includes the embedded system equipped with security and software requirements.
Location
This program will be conducted at Advanced Informatics School (UTM AIS), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur.
Language
English language is the main medium for teaching & learning activities.
Career Opportunities
Graduates of the programme can work as Solutions Architect, Computer Systems Engineer, Systems Integrator, Systems Analysts, Software Engineer, Systems Managers, Systems Consultants, Academicians and Researchers. The graduates are also eligible to pursue their study PhD level at local or abroad institution.
Master Of Science (Computer Systems Engineering)
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES & OUTCOMES
Within 3 to 5 years upon graduation, it is expected that the graduates of the program are able to achieve the following:
- Able to develop innovative products in various aspects of systems engineering in local or international industry or government and to work in multidisciplinary and multitechnology teams as important contributor towards strategic objective of their organization.
- Able to demonstrate the mastery in all aspects of systems engineering that involves complex process, system and technology and engage in business opportunities.
- Able to demonstrate ethical responsibility through important leadership involvement with community and/or professional organizations and/or contribute towards a sustainable society.
