Monterey?
What "systems" are you going to engineer and then manage, Smackie?
The sewers and the landfill?

Not sure which Monterey you're talking about, but I guess it's not this one.

The short answer is it's a Masters degree for logisticians who don't have undergrad engineering degrees, although there are some engineers in the program. It's essentially technical program management. A more formal answer is:smackaholic wrote:So, just wtf exactly is systems engineering management?
What is Systems Engineering?
–the ensemble of coordinated analyses, simulations, and processes that lead to a technical product which best meets the needs of an identified customer.
•What does it mean to manage systems engineering?
–Systems engineering management requires the allocation of resources in a manner that ensures success.
–Resources include funds, schedule, personnel, tools, and environment.
–Proper allocation requires that the manager continuously predicts the future needs of the program and technical hurdles and allocates the currently available resources such that these needs are met and these hurdles are cleared at the appropriate time.

Cool dealio Smackie! At least you had a nice area between, adjacent, or left or right of Mt. Tam to further your education.
I know you don't believe my claims of what an LVN can make, but you've looked at base salaries and not mandatory overtime mixed in with "high-risk" work. Gubmint cheeze is easy for a former state employee of almost 6 years of state cervix. I know you'll figure it out... eventually.
