1. Systems and Supportability Engineering & Integration EDUCATION at Stevens Institute of Technology FIPT Meeting – June 22, 2005 Dr. Brian Sauser and Dr. David Nowicki, on behalf of Dinesh Verma, Ph.D. Associate Dean for Outreach Professor of Systems Engineering Schaefer School of Engineering

2.  The first course in the SDOE Program was talk in April of 2001, with 10 participants sponsored by Mr. Lou Kratz. These participants were from across the various DoD components. The other 10 were sponsored by Lockheed Martin MS2.  The first course was hosted by DAU at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.  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 300 graduate students (of these, approximately 50 are doctoral students)  Within the government, the Stevens program has been chosen as the exclusive provider of SE education within the National Security Agency, FAA, and NASA. Many such agreements exist with our industrial partners. A Brief Historical Review…
