Systems Engineering

• ENG SE 765: Production Systems Design
  Theory and applications related to the design of complex production systems. Simulation theory, stochastic modeling and control, and mathematical decomposition techniques are developed and applied hierarchically to combine production statistics estimation, operations protocol design, and capacity selections in an integrated design of complex manufacturing systems. Same as ENG ME 765. Students may nor receive credits for both.
• ENG SE 766: Advanced Scheduling Models and Methods
  Emphasizes basic methodological tools and recent advances for the solution of scheduling problems in both deterministic and stochastic settings. Models considered include classical scheduling models, DEDS, neural nets, queueing models, flow control models, and linear programming models. Methods of control and analysis include optimal control, dynamic programming, fuzzy control, adaptive control, hierarchical control, genetic algorithms, simulated annealing, Lagrangian relaxation, and heavy traffic approximations. Examples and case studies focus on applications from manufacturing systems, computer and communication networks, and transportation systems. Same as ENG ME 766. Students may not receive credist for both.

• ENG SE 810: PhD Internship in Systems Engineering
  This course provides SE PhD students the opportunity to include a paid internship experience as part of their professional training. The internship must be related to the student's area of study. International students require CPT authorization. Written summary required. Graded P/F. Prerequisite: Permission of advisor and an approved internship offer; at least two complete semesters in the SE PhD program. full-time (30-40 hours/week for at least 12 weeks) = 4 credits; part-time (15-20 hours/week for at least 12 weeks) = 2 credits.
• ENG SE 900: PhD Research
  Participation in a research project under the direction of a faculty advisor leading to the preparation and defense of a PhD prospectus.
• ENG SE 951: Independent Study
  Graduate students may study, under a faculty member's supervision, subjects not covered in a regularly offered course. Final report and/or written examination normally required.
• ENG SE 952: SE Mentored Project
  Students who are pursuing a project to satisfy their practicum requirement for the SE without Thesis and MEng degrees will register for up to 4 credits of this course. The course may be taken more than once up to four credits (ex. two credits in Fall, two credits in Spring). Students will select a suitable project, with a mentor, that can be completed in 4 credits. The Graduate Committee must approve all proposed projects. Each student must write a project report at the end of the course that will be graded P/F by their project mentor.
• ENG SE 954: MS Thesis
  Participation in a research project under the direction of a faculty advisor leading to the preparation of an original MS thesis. For students pursuing an MS thesis to satisfy the practicum requirement for the MS degree.
• ENG SE 991: PhD Dissertation
  Participation in a research project under the direction of a faculty advisor leading to the preparation and defense of an original PhD dissertation.
