The Systems Engineering Program
The SE focus provides broad knowledge of the "systems approach" for designing and managing large-scale engineering systems throughout the life cycle. Topics include elements of systems engineering, methods and standards, architecting, computer tools that support systems and software engineering, trends and directions, and the integrative nature of systems engineering. Case studies and methodologies from NASA, DoD and U.S. corporations are explored.
