HANCEVILLE, Ala. – For those interested in engineering, but not ready to take the leap into a four-year course of study, the Wallace State Community College Computer Science program offers a Systems Engineering Technology option that is focused on model–based systems engineering (MBSE). After completion of the two-year curriculum, students will be awarded an associate degree in Systems Engineering Technology. MBSE is a methodology that uses visual models to design, analyze and manage complex systems. It allows engineers to simulate and optimize system designs before implementation, reducing errors and improving collaboration across industries like aerospace, automotive, and defense. Systems engineering technicians create digital models to coordinate large-scale, complex engineering projects. Students in the Systems Engineering Technology courses at Wallace State will learn the computer programming and database skills needed to build, maintain and grow those models. “In the world of co
