SEE 500 | The Practice of Systems Engineering (3)

The course provides an overview Systems Engineering professional competencies. Content and case studies present Systems Engineering as a multi-faceted discipline that draws upon human, organizational and technical resources to define, develop and deploy a system.

SEE 510 | Introduction to Systems Engineering (3)

Theoretical and practical foundations of systems engineering; processes, tools and principles employed throughout a system’s life cycle: from concept inception through system retirement/disposal.
Co-requisite: SEE 501

SEE 515 | Introduction to Systems Engineering II (3)

Course covers processes, principles and tools utilized throughout a system’s life cycle. Topics include the role of requirements engineering, risk management, supportability and logistics in the development of complex systems.
Prerequisite: SEE 510

SEE 520 | Requirement Analytics in Systems Engineering (3)
