MS/SE Specialization in Systems Engineering
Analysis (SEA)
Systems Engineers must address a broad range of issues relevant to the design,
implementation, analysis and management of systems. This emphasis provides the
student with methodological tools that can be applied to the systems engineering
process. Areas of focus include decision support systems, distributed intelligent
systems, knowledge-based planning systems, network systems, probabilistic reasoning
systems, sensor fusion systems, and optimization methods. The graduate program in Systems Engineering recognizes the importance of a balancing an education in quantitative models and engineering tools with a proper understanding of the systems perspective.
Basic Methods Courses for SEA Students must complete: SYST 611 System Methodology and Modeling
and one additional course from the list of basic methods courses.
Emphasis-specific Courses for SEM Students must complete: SYST 542
Decision Support Systems Engineering The remaining courses are electives taken from the list below. The
set of elective courses must constitute a well-defined focus and must be
approved by the student's advisor. Courses
designated as basic methods courses may also be used as elective courses
once the requirement of two basic methods courses has been met:
- SYST 619 - Introduction to Architecture-Based Systems Engineering
- SYST 621 - System Engineering Design
- SYST 671/OR 671 - Judgment and Choice Processing and Decision Making
- SYST 683 Modeling Simulation and Gaming
- OR 641 - Linear Programming
- OR 642 - Integer Programming
- OR 643 - Network Modeling
- OR 644 - Nonlinear Programming
