On July 1, 2000 Stevens Institute of Technology created a new systems engineering and engineering Management (SEEM) department. Through a unique partnership with industry and selected government agencies in the area of short courses, graduate programs, and applied research, the department has grown to over 60 masters and 30 PhD students in one year. In terms of revenue from short courses and off campus programs, the department is now second within the school of engineering. This paper will provide the details and lessons learned of how we designed, marketed, and executed three non traditional certificate and masters programs and two PhD degree granting programs centered on technology, engineering, systems, and management. Partnership with industry and government agencies within key market domains was the cornerstone of our strategy. At the strategic level we will discuss ideas on how to target market large employers of engineers, attracting faculty, balancing resource allocation for income activities versus break even or money losing activities such as research and undergraduate education, partnering with traditional engineering departments, the role of web based learning, and most importantly managing expectations for growth and income. Other seemingly trite yet important issues such as the naming of programs, how to best utilize web versus hard copy for marketing information, the role of an advisory board, and how to create the environment of mutual beneficial existence with the traditional engineering departments will also be discussed. This paper, though hardly a road map for creating new programs or a department, will provide insight to the thought processes and steps needed to create modern and relevant programs to educate engineers in the 21st century.

This evidence-based paper highlights the benefits of interdisciplinary collaboration between Civil engineering (CME) and systemsengineering (DSE) students for the 2022 United States Military Academy (USMA) Steel Bridge Team. The American Institute of Steel Construction, (AISC) and American Society of Civil engineering (ASCE) Student Steel Bridge Competition challenges students to design, fabricate, construct, and test a 1:10 scale steel bridge that meets dimensional, material, and performance constraints as part of an intercollegiate competition. The AISC Steel Bridge competition is a capstone course requiring students to apply engineering principles and theory learned during their undergraduate studies, such as structural design, mechanics of materials, and construction management into the engineering design process. For the civil engineering students, the competition requires the use of both physical models and modern technology to solve a complex engineering problem. Previously the USMA Steel Bridge Team was limited to only civil engineering students. While civil engineering students are exposed to construction management techniques through their engineering course load, it was found that systemsengineering students provide a skill set that improves the scheduling and communication throughout the design, fabrication, and construction processes. The influence of the systemsengineering students is not limited to bolstering the project management skills of the Steel Bridge Team. The systemsengineering students enable a more efficient design to meet the team's objectives through the implementation of a stakeholder analysis and customer value model (CVM). The systemsengineering students also create and run linear optimization models to help identify the most effective way to approach the construction of the bridge on competition day. The interdisciplinary nature of the project allows both the civil engineering and systemsengineering students to more effectively

This paper describes a systemsengineering laboratory that consists of a hybrid computer system and a group of industrial measuring and control equipment, all of which can be used as one integrated whole. It uses a special-purpose software system for internal communi cations. The laboratory's plan of organization for super vision, maintenance, and operation within a university environment is explained. A concise description of how the laboratory has been used in undergraduate and grad uate teaching is given.

One of the top recommendations to emerge from the October 2006 Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (DUSD) Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (ATL) Defense Software Strategy Summit was to find ways of better integrating software engineering into the systemsengineering and acquisition process. Concurrently, the National Research Council (NRC) study was addressing the problem of better integrating human factors into the systemsengineering and acquisition process. This article presents a model that emerged from these and related efforts that shows promise of improving integrations. This model, called the Incremental Commitment Model (ICM), organizes systemsengineering and acquisition processes in ways that better accommodate the different strengths and difficulties of hardware, software, and human factors of engineering approaches. It also provides points at which they can synchronise and stabilise, and at which their risks of going forward can be better assessed and fitted into a risk-driven stakeholder resource commitment process.

Cells of living organisms simultaneously operate hundreds or thousands of interconnected chemical reactions. Metabolic networks include these chemical reactions and the compounds participating in them. Metabolic engineering is a science centered on the analysis and purposeful modification of an organism's metabolic network toward a beneficial purpose, such as production of fuel or medicinal compounds in microorganisms. Unfortunately, there are problems with the design and visualization of modified metabolic networks due to lack of a standardized and fully developed visual modelling languages. The purposes of this paper are to propose a multi-level framework for the synthesis, analysis and design of metabolic systems, and then explore the extent to which abstractions from systemsengineering (e.g., SysML) can complement and add value to the abstractions currently under development within the greater biological community (e.g. SBGN). The computational test-bed that accompanies this work is production of the anti-malarial drug artemisinin in genetically engineered Saccaharomyces cerevisiae (yeast).
