hey /wsr/, so tomorrow is my first day in university. And i'll be studying Systems engineering, but can anyone tell me is system engineering somehow related to science? and what its even about??
sounds like a meme
but the only kinds of systems engineering I'm familiar with is computer hardware/software.

He means sys admin, but he's a spic and can't into english.

You do shit that anyone could do after looking it up for 15 minutes; like setting up a shared printer. That's only if you're lucky enough to land a job, because over half of graduates don't ever get a job at a company and mostly end up doing computer repair informally. Basically you fell for a meme, also
>and what its even about??
Why did you even pick a career if you don't even know what's it about, you fucking idiot?

It's kind of like management, but for engineering. Engineering got sick of being managed by people that aren't engineers, so they invented their own management science.
There's very little overlap with science, and expect to do the same foundational math, physics etc. that all engineers do, but then instead of going into depth in EE, ME, SE, CE, etc. expect to do a bit of everything and a whole lot of management, design, and lifecycle.

Systems engineer here.
You'll mainly learn mathematics and logic. Of course, derivatives like linguistics and discrete mathematics as well. A tiny bit of physics too. The rest will be mainly, well, systems. Making algorithms, diagrams and the like, and the typical data structures needed to make those efficiently. You'll most likely learn some programming and very basic database theory, with some practice in some particular db engine, most likely mysql - but don't expect to actually learn mysql. You'll only get the basics, and if you actually want to do efficient shit, you'll have to learn on your own.
Some basic electronics too, most likely. If it's a good school, you'll also learn assembly.
