In its undergraduate programme in systems engineering and engineering management leading to the BEng degree, there are four streams of specialization: e-commerce systems, information systems, logistics and supply chain management, and financial engineering. Underlying all streams is the common theme of developing and applying engineering methodologies and information technologies to decision making and problem solving in complex systems in business, industry, and the public sector. At the graduate level, the department offers programmes leading to the degrees of MSc, MPhil, and PhD in systems engineering and engineering management. The department is also actively engaged in research, in areas of decision methodology and operations research, E-commerce technologies, information systems, engineering management, and financial engineering.
