The program for Masters of Science in Information Systems Engineering (MSIS) emphasizes the engineering and application aspects of Information Technology (IT). The program differs from a traditional Information Systems program in that it focuses on an engineering approach to IT. The curriculum of the program also emphasizes individual communications skills and team participation. The MSIS degree program has distinct specialization tracks geared to different classes of IT employment. The curriculum, consisting of 30 credits of coursework, is designed to accommodate students from a wide variety of backgrounds. An Executive track, specially designed for full time employees with working experience, facilitates the 30 credits to be completed with an eveningweekend schedule. Specialization tracks for the program include Systems Engineering, Telecommunications, and Software Engineering. The core component of the program consists of courses in programming; hardware; data management; analysis, modeling, and design; data communications and networking; and technology integration. Following the completion of the core requirements, students can specialize in one of the tracks by choosing appropriate electives. Students are expected to solve real world problems by applying and integrating newly acquired skills. The integration requirement can be satisfied at any time after the completion of the core courses.
