| SCOPE | |||||||||
| SE302 prepares students to model, analyze, and understand complex, interdisciplinary, and ill-defined problems using a systems approach in order to design and implement effective solutions. The course emphasizes designing solutions that integrate in the broader operational and organizational context across the system?s lifecycle. It further emphasizes making system design decisions using both analytic techniques and ethical considerations. It introduces fundamental principles and methods of systems engineering, including: model-based systems engineering (MBSE); system architecture; requirements, functional, and nonfunctional analysis; system design, integration, testing, and evaluation; the management of cost, schedule, and risk during system development; and written and oral communication of technical information. Students apply these methods to conceptualize, design, and test a prototype complex engineered system in a course project focused on a real-world, complex problem spanning political, military, economic, social, cultural, and informational contexts. *Pending ABET-PEV review of ET=3.5CR. The ET credit is proposed and will be validated through Academy processes.* | |||||||||

| SCOPE | |||||||||
| SE302 prepares students to effectively model, analyze, and understand complex, interdisciplinary, and ill-defined problems as systems so they can design and implement effective solutions. The course covers principles and methods for requirements management, functional and nonfunctional analysis, risk management, testing, cost estimation, and technical system architecture from industry and DoD including IDEFϕ modeling, the Systems Modeling Language (SysML), and the Department of Defense Architectural Framework (DoDAF). The Engineering Vee model is used as a framework throughout the course. The course also includes a review of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies. The techniques taught in this course have been applied to an increasingly wide variety of complex, ill-defined problems in business, government, military, health care, and national capacity development. Ethical responsibilities in describing the results of analyses to decision makers are integrated throughout the course. Cadets develop communication skills through written reports and presentations. A course project will challenge cadets to apply their modeling and analysis skills to a real world complex, ill-defined problem in political, military, economic, social, cultural, and informational contexts. | |||||||||

| SCOPE | |||||||||
| SE302 focuses on preparing students to effectively model, analyze, and understand complex, interdisciplinary, and ill-defined problems as systems in an effort to design and implement effective solutions. The course covers principles and methods for Requirements Management, Functional Analysis, and technical System Architecture from industry and DoD including IDEFϕ modeling, the Unified Modeling Language, and the Department of Defense Architectural Framework (DoDAF). The course will also include a review of Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies. The techniques taught in this course have been applied to an increasingly wide variety of complex, ill-defined problems in business, government, military, health care, and national capacity development. Ethical responsibilities in describing the results of analyses to decision makers are integrated throughout the course. Cadets develop communication skills through two written reports and make innovative use of modeling packages to develop and analyze systems. A course project will challenge cadets to apply their modeling and analysis skills to a real world complex, ill-defined problem in political, military, economic, social, cultural, and informational contexts. Cadets will spend eight to twelve lessons in a computer lab environment. | |||||||||
