SYSE 401 Introduction to Systems Engineering 3.0 Credits
This course is an introduction to systems engineering. Systems engineering covers a higher level system concept, applying well tested engineering practices to address the processes which are critical to most large engineering efforts, and optimizing them for effectiveness and financial success. This course covers the complete system engineering process, touching on the many facets of engineering systems from needs and requirements generation to production to system operation. Students will learn to apply the systems processes and acquire skills to integrate user needs, manage requirements, conduct technological evaluation and build elaborate systems architectures.

SYSE 420 Global Sustainment and Integrated Logistics 3.0 Credits
This course focuses on the back end activities of the system life cycle which is system operations, system maintenance and system sustainment. Logistics activities are critical integrating functions for any system. The focus is to achieve state-of-the-art excellence in logistics functions and supportability for the system while achieving an acceptable life cycle cost and attain effective and efficient systems operation and sustainment. This course discusses traditional methods and contemporary topics associated with logistics and global sustainment. It also introduces methodologies and tools for achieving affordable integrated logistics.

SYSE 433 Systems Integration and Test 3.0 Credits
The systems engineering process applies well tested engineering practices to address the processes which are critical to most large engineering efforts, and optimizing them for effectiveness and financial success. The process covers the complete engineering system evolution from needs and requirements generation to production and construction and operation. Throughout the systems engineering process, various disciplines of engineering as well as various forms of information and technology need to be integrated, and the effectiveness of each step of the process ascertained. This course will address the processes, methods, and tools to integrate, test and evaluate the myriad of engineering information, technology, and products that are encountered throughout the systems engineering process.

SYSE 440 Model Based Systems Engineering 3.0 Credits
System complexity is continually increasing, demanding more rigorous approaches to modeling. Document based approaches become cumbersome with large scale systems and a model based approach helps to better manage complexity, improve quality and lower cycle time. This course addresses modeling of the system description as well as its functions using OMG SysML. This formal modeling language supports all aspects of the systems engineering process from specification through verification and is applicable across a broad range of industries.
