This course imparts the skills required to build, manage and decommission large scale engineering systems. Course Objectives:
This course will enable the student to productively contribute as a systems engineer in the planning, design or analysis of facilities, equipment, or processes. The student will gain an in‐depth understanding of the Scientific Method, DOD Systems Engineering Practice, and the principles of project management, excluding emphasis of cost and schedule control. The student will understand the meaning and practice of: requirements and functional analysis, alternatives development, synthesis, trade studies, decision methodology, life‐cycle cost analysis, interface control, and system integration. The student will develop the skills necessary to analyze a system and define requirements. Practical applications will be oriented towards the design and operation of waste management and environmental restoration facilities within the DOE complex
