SE301 serves as the "roadmap" course for all cadets taking the Systems Engineering major and field of study. This course presents the methodological framework and techniques for designing, implementing, managing and reengineering large-scale 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 a course project. Cadets also use spreadsheet software for modeling and analyzing design alternatives and develop communication skills through oral presentations and written reports.
