Systems Engineering Development Program
Systems Engineering at Niagara focuses on how to design and manage complex engineering systems over their life cycles. Issues such as reliability, logistics, coordination of different teams, evaluation measurements all become more difficult when dealing with large or complex projects. Our team deals with work-processes, optimization methods, and risk management tools in such projects. We also overlap with technical and human-centered disciplines such as control engineering, industrial engineering, logistics engineering and project management to ensure that all likely aspects of a project or system are considered and integrated.
