Large systems: whether they are in the form of a skyscraper, a business-critical computer network, or a field of windmill turbines used to generate an environmentally-friendly power supply, effectively optimizing and managing the complexity of interrelated variables on a large-scale system of any kind requires an understanding of the big picture as well as an intense focus on the details. Critical services as public infrastructure, water, transportation and information are delivered by complex, automated systems that integrate operation, monitoring, and digital communication and control into physical devices that must meet complicated requirements. At Lehigh, our experts work together in an environment that embraces a wide range of ideas, methods, and thinking from the perspective of operating and maintaining large systems.
