Class Project: The class project topic will be selected by the student (an individual or team project) prior to the 5th session of class. The topics may be selected from the students present project/job assignment relating it to the system engineering process, or the application of technology and management techniques from previously taken EMP courses (including prospective 702 projects) to the systems engineering process. The student will schedule a short discussion (10 minutes presented in class) of the project with the instructor on or before the 10th session.
This is a generic outline. Class Schedule and required texts will be revised each semester offered.
