The UW-Milwaukee (UWM) College of Engineering & Applied Science is now enrolling students for the fall launch of its new master\u2019s of science degree program in Connected Systems Engineering<\/a>. This first-of-its-kind program in Wisconsin combines engineering, business and data science with real-world applications in advanced manufacturing.<\/p>\n

Coursework includes topics that are increasingly relevant to manufacturing, such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, the digital supply chain and more.<\/p>\n

The interdisciplinary major will be offered by the Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Department in collaboration with UWM\u2019s Lubar College of Business and\u00a0UWM\u2019s Connected Systems Institute<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This master\u2019s program is designed to attract and empower students who seek to upskill or reskill to prepare for current and future careers in the advanced manufacturing and service industries.<\/p>\n

A need for industry<\/h3>\n

Eighty-three percent\u00a0of\u00a0400\u00a0executives\u00a0recently\u00a0surveyed\u00a0for the\u00a02021 Wisconsin Manufacturing Report<\/a>\u00a0stated\u00a0they were having difficulty\u00a0finding the right talent in manufacturing data analytics, AI, cloud computing, cybersecurity, robotics and automation, among other key skills related to Industry 4.0.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe this interdisciplinary master\u2019s program is a critical step to closing the current industry knowledge gap and preparing a pipeline of future industry leaders,\u201d said Michael Cook, Rockwell Automation\u2019s director of global industry-academia and engagement. \u201cWe fully support this program.\u201d<\/p>\n

The degree requires 31 credits, consisting of a set of core courses in connected systems engineering that will involve students working on case scenarios using the CSI\u2019s automated manufacturing testbeds.<\/p>\n

The Connected Systems Institute is a collaborative research facility with affiliated faculty from the College of Engineering & Applied Science, the Lubar College of Business and the School of Information Studies, all working with industry partners to drive innovation in manufacturing.<\/p>\n

Understanding business challenges<\/h3>\n

One major focus of CSI, which has onsite manufacturing testbeds and a digital twin lab, is to understand business challenges faced by manufacturers and partner with them to incorporate AI and other smart technology solutions to improve their business operations.<\/p>\n

Additional program requirements include a capstone course, technical writing and a collection of self-selected technical electives.<\/p>\n

Students may select electives representing focus areas including industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, enterprise resource planning, digital supply chain management, \u00a0artificial intelligence, machine learning and cybersecurity, and mechatronics and robotics.<\/p>\n

The program is designed to be completed in three semesters of full-time enrollment with students taking 10 to 11 credits per semester. Part-time students can complete the program in as few as five semesters.<\/p>\n
