Data Analytics and Systems Engineering are combined in this Bachelor of Science degree.  At first glance, these two fields may seem unrelated, but it turns out that they are closely related.

• Data Analytics describes how to analyze complex data to reach actionable conclusions.
• Systems Engineering describes how engineers conceive, design, integrate, and test complex systems.

This program develops and uses complex systems by employing data analytics and systems engineering tools and techniques.  A variety of systems will be used in the program, such as quadrotor drones and robots, including the NAO social robot.

The DASE curriculum is flexible; if your interest leans more toward Data Analytics or Systems Engineering, you can orient your course of study to reflect your interests by selecting a single track or the general combination track.
