This graduate certificate will provide students with a solid foundation in the fundamentals and practical use of methods, processes and tools for the conception, architecture, modeling and simulation, and analysis of complex systems. The skills obtained will be applicable to the systems engineering of systems in other domains, but are focused on systems with the attributes of distributed control, complexity and evolution. Systems thinking, model-based systems engineering and simulation approaches are emphasized.
The following two courses are required as pre-requisites:
SYS 625 Fundamentals of Systems Engineering
SYS 650 System Architecture and Design
Students must also choose four of the following six courses:
SYS 678 Agile Systems & Enterprises
SYS 725 Advances in Systems of Systems Engineering
ES 684 Systems Thinking
SYS 750 Advanced System and Software Modeling and Assessment
SYS 611 Modeling and Simulation
SYS 681 Dynamic Modeling of Systems and Enterprises
