Diseases are complex and costly, requiring solutions that cross traditional academic boundaries. By merging systems engineering and healthcare, we prepare students to excel at this intersection through a transdisciplinary program. Students gain a deep understanding of healthcare systems, a strong engineering foundation, gain hands-on clinical experience, and participate in a health-focused 6- to 8-credit M.Eng. project
