ENGR 680 - Engineering Systems Modeling

Units: 3
Systems approach to problem identification, description, modeling, and resolutions derived by traditional optimization. Approaches for the planning, manufacturing, deployment, product use and disposal cycles are presented. The design criteria, specifications, analysis, and verification through system life cycle is discussed to ensure that a system’s functional, interface, performance, physical, cost and other quality characteristics. These factors are balanced to meet the needs of system stakeholders. Lecture Units: 2; Activity Units: 1.

Possible Instructional Methods: Entirely On-ground.
Grading: A-F grading only.
Student Learning Outcomes - Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:

Ability to use the concepts, techniques, decision tools and systems approaches to improve system performance.
Ability to understand and communicate the importance of components of the system, analysis, specifications, design criteria, and verification thru system life cycle.
Ability to identify and rectify potential conflicts and problems that can occur during the integration of the system components.
Ability to communicate convincingly in writing and orally regarding the efficacy of particular decision criteria with various systems related constraint.
