The Department of Systems

Engineering and Engineering
Management

We are a team of systems engineers

interested in making an impact in the
medical field by incorporating systems
engineering principals into the healthcare
industry. We hope to accomplish this by
advising potential employers on the benefits
of hiring systems engineers and increasing
the number of systems engineers hired by
healthcare companies in the region

field
In recent times, healthcare has come to the
forefront of public discussion in America. As
the demand for thorough medical coverage
grows, costs continue to climb and people seek
ways to make medicine more accessible
through a variety of ways. These include
government involvement and, more recently, a
focus on efficiency. Systems engineers are
ideally prepared for this type of challenge
because their studies encompass a variety of
fields ranging from production and logistics to
economic analysis and management.
