SYSTEMS & NETWORKS

System & Networks in IE

No single technology, person, nor concept lives in a vacuum. Each must thrive in a dynamic, complex world... or system. From the solar system to the complex system of a cell, we all exist - within and because of - a "system of systems". As systems-focused engineers, we are in an ideal place to solve the complex grand challenges facing our globally interconnected society.
