This course introduces students to systems engineering, including key concepts, terminology, and methods used to design, develop, and maintain complex systems. Topics include the system life cycle, modeling, interdisciplinary coordination, and teamwork.

This course is the first in a three-course Systems Modeling sequence. It introduces the concept of a system and the fundamentals of systems modeling. Students learn the concepts and tools used to create systems engineering (SE) models that represent real-world systems. Emphasis is placed on model development and documentation, as well as the use of a team-based approach to project management and execution.

This course is the second in a three-course Systems Modeling sequence. It builds on foundational systems modeling concepts and introduces advanced systems modeling techniques. Students learn advanced concepts and tools used to develop systems engineering (SE) models that represent complex systems. Emphasis is placed on advanced model development and documentation, as well as team-based project management and execution.

This course is the third in a three-course Systems Modeling sequence. It focuses on advanced systems modeling concepts and tools used to develop SysML models that accurately represent complex systems. Students learn methods for determining model scope, planning model content, and producing model-based deliverables. Emphasis is placed on advanced model development and documentation, as well as team-based project management and execution.

This course builds on prior coursework in systems modeling to introduce the fundamentals of digital engineering environments. Students explore how different model and data types are integrated to support systems engineering (SE) activities. Topics include collecting data from multiple sources, transforming data for use in systems models, and examining relationships between SysML models and other digital engineering tools and platforms. Emphasis may be placed on modeling programs, data structures, languages, and platforms commonly used within a specific industry.

This course serves as a capstone experience involving a real-world project conducted in partnership with an industry sponsor. Working in teams, students collaborate with a customer to understand project objectives, system requirements, and expected deliverables. Students review existing documentation and models, develop a project schedule and work breakdown structure, and determine appropriate model scope and focus. Teams then design, document, develop, test, and apply a representative systems engineering model using industry-standard tools. Emphasis is placed on professional communication, model maturity planning, and identifying opportunities to integrate systems models with other digital engineering tools.

Instruction in preparation and administration of designated medications by non-licensed nursing personnel employed in licensed health care agencies including the responsibilities associated with such administration.
