| This course continues the process initiated in XE485. Students will implement, test, model, and communicate their solution to solve a complex engineering problem in teams. In addition, the teams will document their work and reflect on how the project met the design requirements as outlined in ABET. The teams will also communicate the social, technical, economic, and political impact of their designs |

| This course is taught by the Class of 1950 Chair of Advanced Technology, a visiting scholar with a distinguished record of academic and professional achievement in the field of engineering, science and technology. The seminars focus on topical issues that either reflect the Chair's area of expertise or are conducted by an expert in the field. Students will apply mathematics, science, and engineering fundamentals to evaluate equipment, processes, and concepts being used in the Army. The course has a final design briefing that is an integrative experience. Admission into course is with permission of Department Head. |

| This course is taught by the Class of 1950 Chair of Advanced Technology, a visiting scholar with a distinguished recorded of academic and professional achievement in the field of engineering, science, and technology. The Advanced Technology Seminar focuses on topical issues that reflect the Chair's area of expertise. The course uses case studies of current and past technological innovations and their impacts on the both the Army and society. This course examines how technology decisions are made in the Department of Defense through a series of case studies and guest lectures. Recent topics such as the Stryker decision; armor for HMMWV's; the development of the tactical internet, including its testing and training requirements; Future Combat Systems (FCS); Rapid Fielding Initiatives (RFI), historical decisions such as the cancellation of the Comanche will be studied and debated. Students will prepare a decision brief on a future system to real decision makers and take a field trip to a defense contractor to see the other side of the process. Students will apply math, science, and engineering fundamentals they have learned to these studies and learn how to develop objective decisions for military and political decision makers. |
