Independent study project on a topic relevant to their academic program, supervised by a University of Maryland, College Park faculty member. Requires application and approval.

This course continues the MSSE systems engineering course progression with a comprehensive focus on system architecture that drives systems and enterprise engineering decision making at many levels. The course introduces students to models for enterprise, business, systems-level, service/component level, discipline-specific architectures. Students will use integrated architecting tools to solve problems of interest to them and that stress the capture, analysis, reconciliation, leverage, and execution of architecture at many levels and the exercise of ANSI/ISO/IEC/IEEE standards for architectural description.

Understand organizational decision-making characteristics and the roles of analytics and decision support systems to enhance and optimize outcomes. Through hands-on practice, be able to lead/collaborate to implement a data analytics project to support organizational goals and measure its effectiveness.

Additive manufacturing has emerged as an exciting option for fabricating electronics enabling fabrications on difficult geometries otherwise inaccessible by traditional techniques. This course will introduce the basic concepts of 3D printed electronics.

This course covers Quality Engineering approaches for creating optimal and robust manufacturing and engineering systems. It provides an overview of the important tools for quality analysis and quality management of engineering systems. These tools are commonly used in companies and organizations.
