Graduate Certificate in Systems Engineering
Analysis and Architecture
Motivation
The
Graduate Certificate in Systems Engineering Analysis and Architecture (SEAA) is
intended for students who want to advance their knowledge in systems engineering
analysis, design and architecture. Students get an understanding of the theory
and/or tools of the systems life cycle, systems requirements and cost modeling,
systems design, architecture-based systems engineering, the design of systems,
and a selection of other techniques applicable to systems engineering analysis.
The certificate may be pursued concurrently with any of the graduate degree
programs in the Volgenau School of Information Technology and Engineering (VSITE).
Admission Requirements
The
SEAA certificate program will be open to all students who hold a BS degree in
scientific and engineering disciplines from an accredited university program,
with a GPA minimum established by VSITE for all MS programs. Students who are
already enrolled in a master's program must submit an application form to enroll
in this certificate program; all others must apply for graduate admission to
this certificate program.
Certificate Requirements
The SEAA
certificate will be awarded on the successful completion of five graduate
courses (15 credits) described below. The normal requirements for all
certificates must be met: i.e., a cumulative GPA of 3.000 minimum must be
achieved; and no more than one course with a C grade may be included in the
certificate.
To be eligible for a certificate in Systems Engineering Analysis and
Architecture, students must complete four required courses (12 credits) plus one
elective course (3 credits). The four required courses are:
-
SYST
510 System Definition and Cost Modeling
-
SYST
520 System Engineering Design
-
SYST
542 Decision Support Systems Engineering
-
SYST
619/ECE 672 Introduction to Architecture-based Systems Engineering
The elective course must be selected from the following:
-
SYST
563 Research Methods in Systems Engineering and Information Technology
-
SYST 571 Systems Engineering Management
