Join the Growing Field of Model Based Systems Engineering

Systems Engineering Technicians (SET) will be the anchor of the growing field of Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). MBSE uses computer models to coordinate large-scale, complex engineering projects like NASA’s Mars Exploration Program. Your SET degree will give you the computer programming and database skills needed to build and maintain those models. Your role in maintaining the “single source of truth” will be pivotal in keeping the engineering teams on track and making progress.
