Use the Systems Engineering Graduate forms to register for Advanced Research, or Project courses. The remainder of the 6 course units focus may be selected from one of the following approved foci or the student may individually develop a plan in consultation with his or her Academic Adviser. Be sure to check the current course descriptions for prerequisites. This area concentrates on the theoretical underpinnings of the applied research interest of the faculty. Systems Science is the mathematics of both continuous and discrete dynamic systems including their identification, estimation, and control.
Operations research encompasses the optimization of deterministic and stochastic systems.
Current research topics are linear, nonlinear, integer, complementarity and variational inequality, hierarchical and multiobjective programming, forecasting and time series analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, Markov decision processes, queuing networks, and applied probability. Random Processes STAT 623 Intro. The design and manufacture of a complex system requires skills from a variety of disciplines and the interaction of the members of a team of individuals. Each participant must understand enough about the activities of the others to ensure that his or her contribution is consistent with the contributions of the others. The team members must also understand the dynamics of interaction of a cooperative team.
