Outline Current MOVES Curriculum Navy Direction Curriculum Update Issues and Trends Certificates 9/21/2018
What Does MOVES Provide Application of Emerging Technology to Training and Operations: Graduates combine operational experience and technical expertise Practical focus of research and education programs Interdisciplinary Approach Computer Science Operations Analysis Human Systems Integration Human Behavior Representation Computational Social Psychology Flexible and Evolving Curriculum
The MOVES Curriculum (6202 P-Code) Systems Engineering Agents & Cognitive Modeling Life Cycle Mgt Virtual Envnmts Applied Mathematics Human Factors & Training Discrete Event Modeling MOVES Core History & Fndmntls JPME Computer Systems Modeling Visual Simulation Combat Modeling Concentration Blocks

CNO's URL Graduate Education Summit Relevant high interest areas for URLs Operations Research ̶̶ Undersea Warfare Cyber ̶ Systems Engineering Desired program options 18-month resident curriculum (with JPME) Satisfy current P-coded billet demand Meet P-code requirements 24-month DL program (no JPME) 2 courses at a time "Executive" degree (not necessarily P-code satisfying) 12 month resident curriculum (with JPME) Designed to fit URL career-driven requirements 9/21/2018
MOVES Considerations MOVES inherently multidisciplinary Broad "core" curriculum Numerous potential concentration blocks No undergraduate MOVES programs Few opportunities for validation of core courses Best fit "feeder" degrees Computer Science Operations Research Applied Mathematics Engineering (possibly) 9/21/2018
18-Month Program Options Reduce matrix by 7 courses Eliminate refresher and review courses Requires highly qualified applicants only Might require increased admissions requirements Eliminate core courses—less breadth Combine core courses—less depth Reduce concentration block requirements Reduce block size from 3 to 2 Reduce block requirement from 3 to 2 Bottom-up program redesign Start to finish research tie-in Fewer formal courses, more hands-on "Practical" introduction to theory 9/21/2018
Options for 12- and 24-Month DL Programs Any/all 18-month program options on the table Meet MOVES MS requirements only 40 MOVES graduate hours 1 concentration block Thesis Hybrid DL/resident program DL courses for core curriculum DL Certificate programs pulled from the curriculum Resident program for advanced courses and thesis work Develop a "capstone" program Not necessarily an MS in MOVES 9/21/2018
Current MOVES Certificate Programs Certificate in Modeling & Simulation Management 4-course program (all DL deliverable) 3 courses from the MOVES MS program Certificate in Networked Virtual Environments 3 courses from the MOVES visual simulation block Others under consideration 9/21/2018
