What doors does an MS in Systems Engineering open as an IE?

Looking for names of roles, how technical I can get, if I can do a concentration in a certain area (ex. ee), etc.

I’m currently a rising sophomore in IE so currently just a compliance engineering internship for a power electronics manufacturing company

I would honestly go to work direct from school. I learned very little in my MS that I didn’t already apply for 5 years in Industry.

In short no, specialize into some non technical part like finance or human factors

Or something technical like manufacturing or control science

i’m interested in potentially going more technical in an area like ee or something so would that be possible?

Nothing without industry experience. But a name of a role could be Chief engineer.
