3.00 Credits
Objectives are to develop modeling skills and to provide new concepts and problem-solving tools, applicable to the design and planning of supply chains as well as manufacturing systems.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Provides a fundamental understanding of the human factors that must be considered in the design and engineering of complex aviation and space systems. Focuses on the derivation of human engineering design criteria from sensory, motor and cognitive sources. Students, individually and in teams, apply design principles from topic areas including displays, controls and ergonomics, manual control, the nature of human error, basic experimental design, and human-computer interaction. Includes aviation accident case presentations and interactive projects. Graduate students also complete an additional research-oriented project with a final written report and oral presentation.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: 6.041 or permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Principles of supervisory control and telerobotics. Different levels of automation are discussed, as well as the allocation of roles and authority between humans and machines. Human-vehicle interface design in highly automated systems. Decision aiding. Trade-offs between human control and human monitoring. Automated alerting systems and human intervention in automatic operation. Enhanced human interface technologies such as virtual presence. Performance, optimization, and social implications of the human-automation system. Examples from aerospace, ground, and undersea vehicles, robotics, and industrial systems.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Permission of instructor
-
2.00 Credits
Provides guidance on design and evaluation of human-computer interfaces for students with active research projects. Roundtable discussion on developing user requirements, human-centered design principles, and testing and evaluating methodologies. Students present their work and evaluate each other's projects. Readings complement specific focus areas. Team participation encouraged. Open to advanced undergraduates.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: None
-
3.00 Credits

Prerequisite:
Prereq: ESD.10
-
1.00 Credits
Seminar environment created to develop leadership capabilities. An initial Outward Bound experience builds trust, teamwork and communications. Readings and assignments emphasize the characteristics of great leadership. Global leaders participate in the Leadership Lunch series to share their experiences and recommendations. Discussions explore leadership development. Culminates in a personal leadership plan. Restricted to entering students in the Technology and Policy program or instructor permission.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Permission of instructor
-
2.00 Credits
Designed to assist SDM students in discovering research areas of interest and matching these interests with faculty and organization research projects. At the end of the seminar, the student has faculty advisor, research project, thesis proposal and plan. Restricted to SDM students.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Permission of instructor
-
2.00 Credits
Designed to enhance your ability to manage and lead in challenging times through a series of self assessment instruments, case studies, and workshops. The objectives are to increase awareness of your strengths and weaknesses as a leader, provide a battery of instruments and surveys to help one understand the way one operates in an organizational setting, and offer strategies and tips on how to leverage one's strengths and work on areas in need of development. Morning section restricted to students in the MLOG program.
