  • SYS 301: Introduction to Systems Engineering

    0.00 - 3.00 Credits
    Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Prescott

    3 Credits Provides an overview of systems engineering in the development of large systems, including genesis and need, characteristics of systems and system engineers, the system life cycle (from birth to death), design for operational feasibility, project management, structure, and system control, statistical/ probabilistic models in dealing with risk inherent in large, complex systems. Emphasis on the importance of system requirements regarding total system performance, interfaces, cost, schedule, optimization, and trades. Prerequisite MA 243.

  • SYS 302: System Engineering Design Considerations

    0.00 - 3.00 Credits
    Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Prescott

    3 Credits This course examines the considerations in developing systems that meet specified system performance requirements while also achieving necessary levels of reliability, maintainability, and supportability consistent with the operational requirements. In addition, consideration is given to issues associated with producibility and disposability. Mathematical methods associated with reliability, maintainability, and supportability are discussed and applied. Liberal use of examples is incorporated to illustrate the interactions and relationships of these metrics, and how they are used to measure and trade off among these elements. The intent is to sensitize the systems engineer to the need for technical, schedule, and cost trade-offs to achieve desired yet safe and affordable system performance. Prerequisite: SYS 301.

  • SYS 303: Optimization in Systems Engineering

    0.00 - 3.00 Credits
    Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Prescott

    3 Credits This course emphasizes that the optimization of some subsystems may be detrimental to others and hence to overall system performance or cost. Topics include traditional optimization methods, such as classical parameter optimization linear programming, dynamic programming, numerical methods (for example, perturbation and gradient techniques), and genetic algorithms. In addition, techniques such as Pareto or multi-objective optimization are examined with the aim of achieving a sufficient balance among subsystem performance and cost, ultimately to obtain an overall optimal system. Prerequisite: SYS 301.

  • SYS 304: Systems Engineering in Management,Risk,and Decision Making

    0.00 - 3.00 Credits
    Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Prescott

    3 Credits An understanding of the decision-making process usually requires simplification of the complexity facing the systems engineer and associated decisionmaking. This course examines methods such as modeling and simulation (M&S) for identifying/ generating alternatives, evaluating their outcomes in terms of risk and benefit, and ultimately providing management authority with options and recommendations on such alternatives to support effective decision-making. Topics include both technical and economic evaluation models and methods. The course also emphasizes the importance of program controls (for example, PERT) and system configuration control. Prerequisites: SYS 301, EC 225.

  • SYS 403: Systems Engineering Life Cycle Costing

    0.00 - 3.00 Credits
    Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Prescott

    3 Credits Current trends in system development indicate that, in general, complexity is increasing, and many systems in use today are not meeting the needs of customers. These trends, combined with past practices, have tended to create an imbalance between cost and effectiveness. This course addresses this important aspect of systems engineering by examining cost and economic factors under the general theme of design for affordability. An introduction to life-cycle costing is followed by a focus on costs as they occur throughout the system life cycle. Types of contracts (for example, fixed price, cost-plus) are studied. The steps in the life-cycle cost analysis process are examined through the use of examples, and the applications and benefits of life-cycle costing are summarized. Prerequisite: SYS 304.

  • SYS 405: Aerospace Systems Guidance and Control

    0.00 - 3.00 Credits
    Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Prescott

    3 Credits Provides a second, advanced course in control systems, with emphasis on the multidimensional state-space approach. Application of digital control systems in aerospace instrumentation, sensors, guidance, and navigation. Addresses optimal control systems, including multi-objective control, and introduction to advanced methods such as fuzzy systems control, neural networks, and genetic algorithms. Prerequisite: EE 401 or equivalent control systems course.

  • SYS 410: Space Systems and Mission Analysis

    0.00 - 3.00 Credits
    Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Prescott

    3 Credits This course provides an arena for applying many of the important techniques in systems engineering through the development of a deep space exploration mission, from mission definition through system concept and design. Considerations will be given to all aspects of mission development and operations including spacecraft design, communications, navigation, payload data handling, personnel, and cost. Students will be assigned to discipline teams, working together in a systems engineering context to produce project documents (concept of operations, project plans, schedules, budgets, mission operations plans, and system design documents). Prerequisite: SYS 403 or permission of the instructor.

  • SYS 417: Senior Systems Engineering Project

    0.00 - 3.00 Credits
    Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Prescott

    3 Credits This is the capstone course for the systems engineering track. The project will involve setting system characteristics, specifications, interfaces, and so on, and planning and scheduling the design process. Complete analysis is required from performance, costs, and reliability. Although an electrical component is dominant, other disciplines such as software, mechanical, and fluid will be involved. The course requires the completion of a detailed project document package. Prerequisite: SYS 403 or permission of the instructor.
