BSSyE Course Descriptions

ENGR 2600: Applications of Probability (co-req. MATH 2255)
This course covers axioms of probability, continuous and discrete distributions used in engineering, sampling distributions, expectation, conditional probability, central limit theorem, and introduction to Poisson Processes.
ENGR 3600: Engineering Statistics (pre-req. ENGR 2600)
This course covers point and interval estimation, hypothesis testing, analysis of variance, and introduction to regression analysis, with applications to engineering problems.
SyE 1001 Systems Engineering Orientation (prereq. none)
This course examines the field of Systems Engineering in today’s world. The students will become familiar with what is expected in this field and the types of opportunities available. Speakers will be brought in for various topics.
SyE 2100 Principles of Systems Engineering I: Requirements Analysis (pre-req. sophomore standing)
In this course students will learn techniques for developing, analyzing and portraying design and life cycle systems requirements. Students will learn to use tools and techniques including Quality Function Deployment, IDEF0 Charts, and Enhanced Block Flow Diagrams.
SyE 2300 Economic Decision Analysis (prereq. MATH 2253, Econ 1107)
This course covers the basic tools used in engineering economic decision making, including discounted cash flow, replacement and timing decisions, depreciation, risk analysis, and pricing mechanisms. Topics may also include an introduction to preferences and utilities, equilibrium concepts, game theory, and incentive compatibility.
SyE 3100 Principles of Systems Engineering II: Reliability, Maintainability and Risk Management (prereq. SyE 2100, MATH 2254, ENGR 2600)
This course introduces engineering principles and methods used for system reliability, maintainability and risk assessment and mitigation. Accelerated testing, FMEA, system safety, and sustainability are introduced.
SyE 3120 Contemporary Technological Systems (prereq. SyE 3100)
This course focuses on how system engineering principles are applied to modern technological and infrastructure systems. Defense, space, communication, energy, transportation and manufacturing systems are analyzed. Other topics include architecture descriptions, heuristic problem solving, sociotechnical issues and managing complexity.
SyE 3200 Human Machine Systems (prereq. SyE 3100)
In this course students will study the relationship between humans and the systems they interact with. Students will study human physical and psychological strengths and weaknesses as well as organizational and political issues that influence the effectiveness of Human-Machine interactions
SyE 3300 Program Management (Pre-req. SyE 2100)
This course focuses on management of large, complex programs and management in technologically intense environments. Concurrent engineering, integrated product development, R&D, measuring and controlling the work, and managing risk will be covered.
SyE 3400: Engineering Optimization I: Deterministic Decision Models (pre-req. MATH 3256)
