ENGR 530 - Overview of Systems Engineering Processes

Prerequisite

ECE 303/STAT 303 (Introduction to Communications Principles,) or STAT 315 (Statistics for Engineers and Scientists). Credit not allowed for both ENGR 530 and ECE 530.

Description

This course helps students develop a conceptual understanding of the systems engineering life-cycle process and familiarity with analysis techniques used in that process. It also introduces concepts of reliability and robustness, and rigorous tools for analysis and design with them in mind. The course utilizes real-world experience and case studies of working with a system through all phases of the system design process.

This class is offered online in a webinar-style format, and can be accessed synchronously or asynchronously. Synchronous means you can log on live and participate in the class as it is occurring on campus, but participation in this format is not mandatory. Asynchronous means you can access the video recording of the class sessions whenever it is convenient for you.

This course can be applied towards:

• Systems Engineering (M.E.)
• Systems Engineering Certificate
