3.00 Credits
In Fundamentals of Systems Engineering, students are introduced to the science of systems engineering, especially the methods and disciplines used to define, develop, and deploy small to complex and large-scale systems. The course takes advantage of integrated examples, analysis and discussion of case studies, projects, and team exercises that enable a thorough understanding of the larger context wherein requirements for a system are realized and then translated into an operational concept. Prerequisites: Full Major status in the College of Engineering
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides the student with an understanding of the context and framework for carrying out a systems engineering project and the system-level responsibilities of a systems engineer, through hands-on activity. Topics covered include systems design and development, system test and evaluation, system reliability, system maintainability, human factors and system design, system producibility and supportability, balancing life-cycle cost, schedule, suitability and performance, risk management, and systems engineering project management and control. Types of systems considered will range from small-scale to large-scale and from primarily technical to primarily social-political. Prerequisites: Full Major status in the College of Engineering
-
3.00 Credits
The course will cover Requirements Engineering and Management concepts focused on systems engineering. The course will provide the student an understanding of the main concepts and principles of Requirements Engineering and Management, as well as the different techniques and core methodologies utilized in Systems Engineering to support the sustainability and development theories. The course will examine the processes and methods to identify, control, audit, and track the evolution of system characteristics throughout the system life cycle, and the student will be able to create and maintain a configuration and requirements management plan and procedures. Prerequisites: Full Major status in the College of Engineering
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers the design processes for production and service systems with an emphasis on economic justification. Topics covered include: logistics and supply chain design, capacity planning, flow lines, paced assembly lines, facility layout, and material handling. Through spreadsheet models and simulations, students quantitatively identify and suggest improvements to production and service systems. Prerequisites: 'C' or better (ME EN 2550 OR MATH 3070 OR CH EN 2550 OR CS 3130 OR ECE 3530) AND Full Major status in the College of Engineering or College of Mines
-
3.00 Credits
This course teaches students model-based systems engineering, which is a fundamental tool of systems engineers. The course teaches Systems Modeling Language (Sys-ML), a theoretical modeling tool. Students will build their own Sys-ML diagrams and models in industry-relevant software. Specifically, the course covers the development of SysML behavior (activity, sequence, state machine, use case), structure (block definition, package, parametric, internal block), and requirement diagrams. The software will allow students to simulate and integrate parametric equations with constraints to properly document systems requirements and other systems engineering concepts. Prerequisites: 'C' or better in (ME EN 5160 OR SIME 5400) AND (ME EN 5170 OR SIME 5410) AND Full Major status in College of Engineering
-
3.00 Credits
This course focuses on financial decision making for both industry and individuals. Topics covered include: time value of money, loans, present worth analysis, rates of return, benefit-to-cost ratio, taxes, probabilistic cash flows, simulation of cash flows, decision analysis and decision trees. Prerequisites: 'C' or better in (ME EN 2550 OR MATH 3070 OR CH EN 2550 OR CS 3130 OR ECE 3530) AND Full Major status in the College of Engineering or the College of Mines
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
Contemporary topics in Systems Engineering and Engineering Management.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the basic nature of society and the relationship between society and the individual. This course focuses on how society functions and is organized, and how society impacts and influences individual motivation, understanding, action, and well-being. Basic sociological ideas regarding social relations, social interaction, social structure, and social change are examined. Students are introduced to key issues addressed by contemporary sociologists; class, race, gender, sexuality, religion, globalization, education, health care, crime, the media, and the environment. The knowledge gained in these course will aid students in future studies within a variety of fields and careers, and encourage the development of critical thinking about important issues.
-
3.00 Credits
A course designed to prepare students to think critically and participate intelligently in public debates on contemporary social problems. Topics may include the causes and consequences of structural inequality, institutional and financial crises, sexual harassment and rape, illicit drug use, racism and hate crimes, unplanned population growth, terrorism, homelessness, residential and educational segregation, and environmental degradation.
-
3.00 Credits
The basic aim of the course is to present an overview of the criminal justice system in the USA: its principles and goals, its organization, its personnel, its policies, and its impacts. We will briefly touch on perspectives of justice and the various theories that attempt to explain crime. We will also address issues relating to race, ethnicity, class, and gender which have been historically neglected. Should you choose a degree in Criminology/Criminal Justice, the courses you can take later will explore each of the major sub-parts of the system (law, police, courts, corrections) in much greater depth and detail.
