Summary
The optional project in systems engineering aims to guide students through the experience of undertaking a complex design or analysis project from a systems perspective.Content
The project will focus on identification, optimization, and risk management in complex engineering projects. It addresses a real-world analysis or design problem by combining tools from disciplines such as computer science, computational biology, control systems, industrial engineering, information systems, organization science, operations research, and systems engineering. The student will learn to work with systems analysis methods so as to describe and optimize a system and its inputs in view of achieving measurable performance targets. The overall purpose of the project is to stimulate holistic thinking and exploration of systems analysis methods to address a relevant human endeavor.
