Scope
SE301 serves as the "roadmap" course for all cadets taking the Engineering Management, Systems Engineering, or Systems & Decision Sciences majors as well as all cadets enrolled in the Core Engineering Sequence. This course presents the methodological framework and techniques for designing, implementing, managing and reengineering complex systems or processes. Cadets learn engineering design and engineering management processes and gain an appreciation for future environments and system life-cycles. Cadets analyze case studies and complete practice problems to illustrate mastery of course topics. Cadets also use spreadsheet software for modeling and analyzing design alternatives. SE301 introduces a Systems Decision Process while incorporating material from courses in the USMA core curriculum and also previews the modeling and decision making tools that cadets will learn in follow-on Department of Systems Engineering courses. The course is designed to allow Cadets the opportunity to learn engineering design and engineering management processes on an individual level so that each Cadet will have the experience necessary to succeed in future Systems Engineering courses. Cadets will spend a number of lessons in a computer lab environment.
