Total Ship Systems Engineering

The objective of this program is to provide a broad-based, design-oriented education focusing on the warship as a total engineering system, including hull, mechanical, electrical and combat systems. The program is for selected Naval/Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Combat Systems Sciences and Engineering students and is structured to lead to the MSME, MSEE, or MS in Physics. Entry to the Total Ship Systems Engineering program is through the standard 533, 570, 590, 591 curricula.

Convenes

Total Ship Systems Engineering will generally fit as part of an eight-or nine-quarter program, with TSSE elective commencing in October. The ease of accommodating TSSE in a student's program is influenced by the student's NPS entry quarter and undergraduate background and performance. Individuals interested in the program should explore the necessary course sequencing with the program officer or academic associate as early as possible.

Subspecialty

Completion of this program will contribute toward the graduates' subspecialty code within his/her designated curriculum. The student will also receive the 5602P subspecialty code for completion of the TSSE Program.

Typical Subspecialty Jobs

Upon award of the subspecialty code, a Naval officer would be eligible for assignments typical of the Navy P-Code. The expectation is that the combination of education and experience would lead to individuals qualified for assignment later in their career to more responsible positions in systems design and acquisition in NAVSEA, SPAWAR and OPNAV, and as Program Managers.
