SE350 is the systems engineering science foundation course for non-engineering cadets. Its focus is on the application of economic, deterministic and stochastic models. These tools are used in systems engineering to analyze and interpret alternatives. Cadets learn to apply various modeling techniques to represent and solve real-world problems in the military and industry. Topics include: the time value of money; linear and integer programming; decision analysis; and simulation modeling. Ethical responsibilities in describing the results of analyses to decision-makers are integrated throughout the course. Students practice innovative uses of spreadsheets to develop and analyze models.
