Networked & Social Systems Engineering

[YoBDa]

<p>Can anyone help me understand what this major is about? I can't seem to find much information on it as it is new. How is this major? What is it about? The brief description given makes it sound interesting, so I am curious.</p>

<p>Also, is it similar to Systems Science and Engineering?</p>

The Rajendra and Neera Singh Program in Networked & Social Systems Engineering (NETS), formerly known as Market and Social Systems Engineering (MKSE), is the world’s first course of study to fully integrate the disciplines needed to design and analyze the complex networks that are reshaping our society.
This program prepares students to shape the technologies that underpin Internet-based search and electronic commerce, financial networks, social networks, and even such exchanges as the power grid. Graduates of this program will be prepared to engineer networks that work for both end-users and investors. Other graduates may become the policy-makers who are urgently needed to regulate these networks for the protection of commercial property and societal good.

<p>Not sure if any of that helps at all. I know there are some NETS and SEAS students who post on CC, so hopefully one of them will respond.</p>

<p>You could also contact SEAS to get more information.</p>
