Risk Engineering and System Analytics is an emerging field of civil engineering that is primarily concerned with the modeling, management, and mitigation of risks. This field of engineering is rapidly growing and interdisciplinary in nature because it draws requires an understanding of structural engineering, natural catastrophe modeling, human error, data, business risk, supply chain, and other domains to effectively modeling and manage risk profiles for complex clients.
A Master of Engineering degree in Risk Engineering and System Analytics prepares students to address a variety of risks using data and validated models. This area of specialization provides a foundation for those individuals intending to pursue careers as risk managers, risk engineers, underwriters, researchers, or data scientists.
