EMSEEngineering Management & Systems Engineering By: Jean-Max Buteau
What is Systems Engineering? • Broad disciplinary field • Design management of complex engineered systems • Breaking apart a system and putting it back together so it works • In summary: Divide and Conquer
EMSE courses • Engineering Economics • Quantitative Models in Systems Engineering • Applied Optimization modeling • Quality Control • System Analysis
Project #1 • Schedule a meeting with EMSE professors • Explore the world of systems on the World Wide Web • Look for career possibilities as a systems engineer • Write a response report
Project #2 • Systems thinking game (rules, timing, upgrade options, etc.) • Given an airplane manufacturing plant who manufactures 3-4 airplanes in 12 minutes • Within groups of 5-6 manufacturing system was to be broken down and improved • Goal was to produce 12 planes in 12 minutes
Conclusion • Broad field—environment, production, technology etc. • Newest Engineering field—resembles industrial engineering • The business side of Engineering • Requires systems thinking, risk taking, leadership, time management, communication/negotiation, ethics
