Sys Engr 472. Cognitive Systems Engineering. Survey of systems processes applied to the cognitive engineering of complex sociotechnical systems. Examines methodologies for the acquisition and translation of expert user knowledge into designs of decision aiding automated systems and for the derivation of system information requirements/human decisionmaking requirements. Focuses on design of system solutions and functional system interfaces that meet users’/operators’ needs and capabilities in the cognitive and decision making domains. Particular consideration is given to military applications in the Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) scenario. Sys Engr 491. Systems Engineering Capstone Design I. Capstone design experience for Sys Engr and Sys Engr Mgt (SE/ SEM) majors. Emphasizes execution of the systems engineering process over the entire development lifecycle of a complex system. Generally, students will fulfill the SE/SEM roles on existing capstone design projects in various departments. Students apply the systems engineering tools acquired in their previous SE/SEM coursework. Sys Engr 492. Systems Engineering Capstone Design II. Continuation of Sys Engr 491. Sys Engr 495. Special Topics in Systems Engineering. Selected topics in systems engineering. 148 United States Air Force Academy Catalog
systems engineering management major Systems Engineering Management, an interdisciplinary major, administered by the Department of Management with participation by the Departments of Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering, Behavioral Sciences and Leadership, Civil Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Engineering Mechanics, is a broad discipline addressing the engineering management of large, complex systems and integration of the many subsystems comprising the larger system. All these components must function together effectively and efficiently to carry out the mission. System engineering managers are “big picture” engineers who design, integrate, and ensure smooth functioning of complex systems typical in today’s high-tech Air Force. They keep their eyes on the design of the overall system ensuring meets the needs of all the system’s stakeholders, including operators, maintainers, commanders, and even our ultimate customer -- the American public! System engineering managers consider elements of system development, verification, manufacturing, deployment, training, operations, support, and disposal. The entire life cycle of the system is considered in a holistic fashion early in the development cycle. Systems engineers managers accomplish this difficult job, by having broad interdisciplinary knowledge across many areas of study. The Academy’s system engineering management program emphasizes a systems-of-systems approach integrating a rigorous engineering and management curriculum augmented with studies in human systems, operations research analysis, program management, and the core curriculum. Students learn that this process is an interdisciplinary one which evolves, verifies, and documents an integrated, life-cycle-balanced set of system solutions that satisfy customer needs. Cadets successfully completing the Systems Engineering Management major are awarded a Bachelor of Science in Systems Engineering Management degree. The goal of the Systems Engineering Management program is to prepare students to become leaders of character who: • Possess breadth of integrated, fundamental knowledge in the basic sciences, engineering, humanities, and social sciences; and depth of knowledge in systems engineering management. • Can communicate effectively. • Can work effectively with others. • Are independent thinkers and learners. • Can apply their knowledge and skills to solve Air Force engineering and management problems, both well- and illdefined. • Know and practice their ethical and professional responsibilities as embodied in the Air Force core values. Upon completion of the Systems Engineering Management program each graduate shall demonstrate satisfactory: • Application of the fundamental concepts of systems engineering to solve systems engineering problems. • Breadth of knowledge and analysis skills in systems engineering, engineering design, test, human systems, information systems, operations research, management, and other related disciplines; depth of knowledge in management. • Synthesis and integration of the above knowledge to effectively identify and solve the types of complex, multidisciplinary problems encountered as Air Force systems engineering managers. • Balancing cost, schedule, performance, and risk factors in decision making. • Laboratory techniques including procedures, recording, and analysis. • Design, fabrication, and testing techniques. • Written and oral communication skills. • Knowledge of ethical and professional responsibilities. • Knowledge of the benefits and the skills needed to engage in life-long learning. • Ability to be effective multidisciplinary team members. • Skills to be an independent learner while knowing when to seek assistance. • Knowledge of the role of Air Force engineering and management officers in our global society. • Knowledge of contemporary social, political, military, and engineering issues.
