Systems Engineering was launched at Stevens Institute of Technology in 2000 – in the form of the SDOE Program and the Systems Engineering and Engineering Management Department, within our Schaefer School of Engineering. The new School of Systems and Enterprises was launched by the Institute Leadership on March 12, 2007. 11/19/2018

School of Systems and Enterprises: Positioning 11/19/2018

Systems Engineering and Integration: Positioning Complex systems characterized by: Technology Constantly evolving technology and related standards Multitude of interfaces (hard and soft), distributed processing notes and platforms, security implications Information and knowledge intensive Business Constantly changing scope, business processes, requirements, and expectations Global relevance, scope, and application Evolving marketplace and related vendors and suppliers Organizational Numerous stakeholders, with conflicting preferences Legacy organizational structures impose constraints 11/19/2018

Emphasis on “complete life-cycle” of complex systems resulted in our curriculum “architecture”…

Further, we remain focused on the “complete picture”… Performance Functions Requirements Priorities Reliability Maintainability Supportability Availability Technical Effectiveness Inherent System Effectiveness Operation Maintenance Process Efficiency Logistics Operational Effectiveness System Life Cycle Cost/Total Cost of Ownership 11/19/2018 7

Systems Engineering at Stevens The first course in the SDOE Program was taught in April of 2001, with 10 participants sponsored by OSD. These participants were from across the various DoD components. The other 10 were sponsored by Lockheed Martin MS2. Since this first course: The SDOE Program and the associated SEEM Department at Stevens has evolved into the largest Systems Engineering Program in the United States with over 400 graduate students (of these, approximately 50 are doctoral students) Within the US government, the Stevens has been chosen as the exclusive provider of SE education within the National Security Agency (NSA), FAA, and NASA. Many such agreements also exist with our industrial partners. 11/19/2018

Open Academic Model in the spirit of the Technogenesis Initiative at Stevens Institute of Technology To blur the boundary between Academia, Industry, and Government; To conduct academically rigorous yet industrially relevant research and education A collaborative culture is an underlying philosophical anchor… 11/19/2018

An Education and Research Initiative that… Is Limited to the United States in terms of << case studies, professors, students & sponsors and partners & course delivery >> Is Limited to a single (or limited number) of market domains; Does not leverage “departments within the university systems”, and even other universities… Is by definition, sub-optimal for its stakeholders… We must be willing to “Cross the Boundaries” at all levels of abstraction… The OPEN ACADEMIC MODEL – Knowledge Creation and Management through Practice, Research and Education… 11/19/2018

Stevens Extended Enterprise in Systems Engineering National Security Agency US Army - Picatinny US Army - CECOM US Navy – NAVAIR - Lakehurst OSD – AT&L US Navy – Patuxent River DAU ITT Lockheed Martin (MS2) IBM Global Services Boeing – Integrated Defense Systems Northrop Grumman Bethpage, NY General Dynamics FAA AF Center for Systems Engineering NASA L3 Communications Sandia National Laboratories Embedded Institute (Holland) Växjö University (Sweden) El Segundo, CA ANSER Buskreud College (Norway) Stevens Extended Enterprise in Systems Engineering These are organizations within the Aerospace and Military sector with whom we have formal alliances and long term relationships in place. Very often we are requested to schedule courses on an annual basis at their preferred locations. A very good example of this is the NSA – National Security Agency. We have scheduled 24 courses a year at their Columbia, Maryland, location for the next five years. On the other hand, there are organizations, such as Boeing, that request courses from us on an as needed basis. We taught a single course at Boeing in 2003, and are already scheduled to teach two in 2004. Another example of this relationship is with OSD, where we have been requested to teach two courses on their behalf in Taiwan as part of their on-going relationship with the Ministry of Defense in Taiwan. Finally, we also have strategic alliances that go beyond just teaching courses… an example of this is with the Defense Acquisition University. DAU hosts our courses in the Washington DC area on an as needed basis. Further, we have developed an equivalency with them where we are able to facilitate the translation of Level 2 DAWIA Certification in selected competency areas into 3 graduate credits, and Level 3 DAWIA Certification in selected areas into 6 graduate credits. We are currently working on similar alliances with the US Army (Picatinny Arsenal) and the Air Force Center for Systems Engineering. 11/19/2018
