Courses

This course provides the student with an opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills acquired in other MIS courses towards the development of effective and efficient management information systems.

Fundamentals of systems engineering, structure of complex systems, system development process, systems engineering management and documentation, needs analysis, requirements development, engineering design and development, integration and test, change management, process improvement.

Concepts of systems thinking. Covers the methodology used in systems engineering, development, system design/production, maintenance and support, and system domains

This course focuses on the systems engineering lifecycle and its application to the design of complex systems. Topics include systems thinking, managing complexity, problem definition, solution design, solution implementation, quality assurance, and measuring effectiveness.

Exposure to the field of systems engineering, mission design, requirements development, trade studies, project life cycle, system hierarchy, risk analysis, cost analysis, team organization, design fundamentals, work ethics, compare and evaluate engineering alternatives, systems thinking. Registration is restricted to junior or higher standing.

This course will explore systems engineering and systems thinking. Students will learn key topics related to engineering products and design, including requirements development, the project life cycle, system hierarchy, risk analysis, and cost analysis. They will learn that systems engineering is iterative and will develop judgment that will allow them to compare and evaluate engineering alternatives.

The System Lifecycle Requirements course focuses on developing, properly writing, and decomposing requirements for complex systems across the entire system life cycle. Well written requirements are a solid foundation for system design development and this course will identify design considerations at early concept identification, design maturation, implementation, production, operations & sustainment, and disposal phases.

All man-made systems have a life cycle. A life cycle is the series of stages (or phases) that a system passes through over time. This course is concerned with understanding the life cycle of systems and the development, definition, and management of requirements for systems or products with consideration to the life cycle.

Processes and tools for engineering large-scale, complex systems: architecture, requirements, risk management, evaluation, concept exploration, decision-making, tradeoff studies, life cycle models, decomposition, system coupling, test, verification, validation, system modeling, business process re-engineering, sensitivity analysis, teamwork, process maturity, and documentation.
