| SE440 focuses on preparing students to effectively model, analyze, and understand complex systems in an effort to design and implement effective solutions. The course covers principles and methods for Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Digital Engineering. The course will apply tools for technical system architecting from industry and DoD including the Systems Modeling Language (SysML) modeling and the Department of Defense Architectural Framework (DoDAF). Cadets apply concepts and tools using advanced modeling software which includes Enterprise Architect. 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 system. ***Pending ABET-PEV review of ET=3.0CR*** |
