Systems Engineering at University of Virginia

Our Systems Engineering program places our graduates squarely at the center of the data revolution. It equips them with technical skills in areas like data science, visualization, optimization, and business analytics that are critical to decision-making, as well as the leadership and communications skills to direct efforts to design and improve large-scale systems. Through class projects, internships and their fourth-year capstone projects, our students gain a real-world, team-based experience applying these skills in such areas as cloud computing and machine learning, unmanned aerial systems and online advertising. Our capstone projects benefit our systems majors with collaborative networking with alumni, government agencies and corporations, providing students valuable exposure to potential employers. As a result, our graduates are in high demand by leading corporations as well as start-ups in fields like consulting, finance, and systems integration.
