Development of a Systems Engineering Program at

1. Delaware Valley Chapter Meeting Systems Engineering in Industry and Academia Development of a Systems Engineering Program at Shreekanth Mandayam Electrical & Computer Engineering November 18, 2010 Glassboro, New Jersey

2. Systems Engineering

3. College of Engineering • The Gift • Departments • Chemical Engineering • Civil & Environmental Engineering • Electrical & Computer Engineering • Mechanical Engineering Henry M. Rowan Hall

4. Our Program • Electrical and Computer engineering topics • Eight semesters of Engineering Clinics • Multidisciplinary, team-oriented, engineering design, development and research • Clinic “consultant” • ALL ECE courses are lab courses – hands-on, minds-on

5. Rowan ECEs….. …. get jobs at major companies across the United States ….and go to graduate school at prestigious universities

6. Rowan ECE Entrepreneurs Dan Brateris and Trevor Ferguson, Atlanticus Innovations Mike Muhlbaier, Spaghetti Engineering Matt Alestra, F.R.E.E. Energy Solutions Jeff Gladnick, SnoRhino Greg Digneo, Cloud Marketing Labs Dave Lester, DISNEY Corp.

7. Engineering Clinics • Research • National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, NASA, Navy, US Department of Energy, NJ Office of Clean Energy, etc. • Vertically integrated with the graduate program • 30% of graduating ECE seniors in Ju/Se clinics have stayed on for MS program • Development • Lockheed-Martin, Cooper’s Ferry, SunTechnics, Kaneka, NJ State Police, Exxon-Mobil, Thomson Consumer Electronics, PSEG, etc.

8. Our Facilities: Rowan Hall • Integrated Lab/Lecture • 204/206: Mixed signals lab with telecommunications test and measurement equipment • 237/238: Digital systems lab with FPGA digital design and simulation capability • 221: Unix (Sun Workstation) lab • Tech Support • 203/205: Calibration/Metrology • 240: Fabrication/Prototyping 204/206: Mixed Signals 237/238: Digital Systems 201: Music/Signals/Systems

9. Rowan Hall Lab: Expansion Room 202 Room 201 Signals/Systems/Music Lab-Lecture-Studio

10. South Jersey Tech Park Center for Sustainable Design Imaging Virtual Reality Biosensors & Computational Intelligence Materials & Nanotechnology

12. Systems Engineering

13. Systems Engineering @Rowan • Leverage existing strengths and identify new areas for development • Strategies to create flexible programs, that can be implemented incrementally based on student enrollment, and can respond rapidly to market demand • BS in core discipline (e.g. ECE, ME, CEE, ChE, CS) with concentration in SE • MS in Engineering with specialization in SE

14. SE Task Force • Dr. Ganesh Baliga – Computer Science • Dr. Cindi Hasit – Office of the Provost • Dr. Mira Lalovic-Hand – Graduate School • Dr. Shreekanth Mandayam – Electrical & Computer Engineering (Chair) • Dr. Ravi Ramachandran – Electrical & Computer Engineering • Dr. Adrian Rusu – Computer Science • Dr. Beena Sukumaran – Civil & Environmental Engineering • Dr. Jia Wang – Accounting & Finance

15. Rowan Systems Engineering Advisory Board Norm Malnak VP/Chief Engineer S-SBMD Bob Redmond VP for Engineering Bob Rassa Director of Engineering Founder, IEEE Systems Council President, IEEE Aerospace & Electronics Systems Society Bruce Oestreich Director of Rotorcraft Systems Engineering, Boeing Integrated Defense Systems

16. Consensus • Graduates from current undergraduate SE programs in the nation do not possess sufficient skills to contribute effectively as systems engineers in their respective industries; and • A “domain focus” is essential in a program offering SE degrees.

17. SE Concentration (Undergraduate) Mechanical Engineering Major Electrical & Computer Engineering Major Management Info Systems Major Software Engineering Major Systems Engineering Concentration University General Education Core Environmental Engineering Major Chemical Engineering Major Civil Engineering Major Example: BS in ECE with concentration in Systems Engineering

18. SE Specialization (Graduate) Computer Science Electives Engineering Electives Business Electives Systems Engineering Electives Math Electives Project/Thesis Example: MS in Engineering with specialization in Systems Engineering

19.
