<p>Can someone elaborate on what this is, perhaps more specifically financial systems engineering.</p>

<p>Do you mean Financial Engineering? If so, look up the post by MoneyDad where he described it better then the P'ton ORFE website does. Princeton is the only school I know of that offers the FE undergrad major.</p>

<p>well I know Penn offers systems engineering. I know some people graduate as financial systems engineers.</p>

<p>Financial engineering and systems engineering are two different things completely. Financial engineering goes under many different names but basically you're in charge of optimization of time and money for a given engineering task. A system engineer is responsible for intergrating the work of different engineers of different fields to resolve design conflicts.</p>

<p>Cornell and Stanford used to offer programs similar also (quite awhile ago .... not sure about now). At Cornell the operations research and indsutrial engineering program had a bunch of financial systems engineering type courses (I placed out of 4-5 of my first year MBA courses). Standord had a program in (I believe) Engineering Economics which I believe would be very similar.</p>

<p>Columbia also offers programs in Operation Research/ Industrial Engineering...</p>

<p>ORFE at Princeton is Operations Research and Financial Engineering.</p>

<p>I've been thinking about going into that field for awhile now..however I will be attending University of Michigan..and fin.eng. there is a grad degree. So what should I major in for undergrad...something business related (since michigan's bschool is top-notch), econ, or industrial eng/operations research?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>systems engineering has to do with optimization of, well, systems...whether it be a factory or traffic flow...my good friend is going to major in that at penn, and this is the impression i got from him</p>
