IMPORTANCE OF SYSTEMS ENGINEERING

Systems engineering is very important in the business field, because every company needs to develop new technologies, as well as implement and improve its information systems. For this reason, the role of systems engineers is of great value in the present and will continue to be so in the future.

The systems engineer receives training and preparation to be able to analyze, research, plan, develop and manage all types of systems. For which you must put into practice your knowledge of science (mathematics, physics, etc.). Systems engineers are able to determine, study and solve difficulties related to computer science. They are also trained to develop new programs or software.

Every good systems engineer is prepared to fulfill the following functions or tasks:

• Identify, study and solve problems related to computer science.
• Analyze, design and develop new information systems.
• Plan, analyze, design, develop and evaluate computer projects, investment, as well as production systems.
• Solve the problems that arise in a company through the creation of expert systems based on the use of artificial intelligence.

Systems engineers, like other professionals, can specialize in various fields. Thus, for example, in: Software development, information management, communication networks, robotics, artificial intelligence, among others. In addition, they can apply their knowledge in other sciences, such as economics.

While it is true, in recent years, the labor demand for systems engineers has increased, this does not mean that there is work for all these professionals, but for the most competitive. More and more young people decide to study this university career.

Systems engineers can work in a company or organization in the area or department of Systems, such as: heads or project managers, systems analysts, programmers, technical support administrators, among others.

In the area or department of Production, they can be responsible for conducting operational research related to sales and logistics processes, they can also work on the creation of new software or information systems. It is worth mentioning that they can also hold important positions in systems engineering companies, such as systems project managers or consultants, in case they wish to provide consulting and systems analysis services.
