PANAMA CITY, Fla. – Ten engineers from Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City, Fla., are kicking off a collaborative first year Master of Science in Systems Engineering (MSSE) degree program at Florida State University-Panama City. NSWCPC, along with the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering of the Florida A&M-Florida State University College of Engineering in Tallahassee, and the FSU-Panama City campus have collaborated to introduce the program. The purpose of the program is to provide opportunities for students to pursue an advanced degree in an interdisciplinary area of broad relevance to the private sector and the Defense Department. Courses will include curriculum related topics such as autonomous systems, maritime systems, and cyber-security to name but a few.
