10. Course Description This course is an introduction to systems reliability, maintainability, supportability and availability, (RMS/A) modeling and analysis with on application to systems requirements definition and systems design development. Both deterministic and stochastic models are covered. Emphasis is placed on RMS/A analyses to establish a baseline for systems performance and to provide a quantitative basis for systems trade-offs.

11. Course Objectives To provide students with an understanding of systems RMS/A modeling and analysis as a basis for product development decisions based on tradeoffs involving multiple alternatives and uncertainty, for application in industry and government as well as in other engineering courses.

12. Course Textbook (Optional) No textbook is required (Instructor notes will be posted on website)

Jerrell Stracener Dr. Stracener has performed and directed integrated logistics support (ILS) and systems reliability, maintainability & supportability engineering and analysis at LTV / Vought / Northrop Grumman as ILS program manager, director of ILS modeling and analysis, project manager, engineer, and corporate statistician for many of the nation’s advanced military aircraft and missiles programs including the Joint Strike Fighter (F-35), A/F-X, JPATS, ATA (A-12), B-2 (including Air-Force requested Industry .loan to Northrop), ATF (YF-23), S-3, V/STOL, MLRS, ASAT, cruise Missile, NFA (F/A-18), A-7D/E/X, as well as classified programs and advanced technology development projects. He also served in the U.S. Navy.

21. Jerrell Stracener In addition and concurrent with LTV/Vought/Northrop Grumman employment, Dr. Stracener participated in government and industry teams to develop and revise military standards and handbooks, co-founded and served as chairman of the SAE Reliability, Maintainability, Supportability (RMS) Division (G-11), and was the founding director of the CALS/CE Connectivity Center at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) Automation & Robotics Research Institute (ARRI). Dr. Stracener established an ad hoc team of industry and government representatives in 1991, led the development of a proposal for a MS Systems Engineering Degree Program, brought it to SMU and assisted the School of Engineering with start-up, administration and development.

22. Jerrell Stracener Dr. Stracener has received numerous awards including SAE Fellow, SAE Forest R. McFarland Award, AIAA Systems Effectiveness & Safety Award, U.S. Navy Reliability, Maintainability & Quality Assurance (RM & QA) Award, and AIAA Associate Fellow. Jerrell received Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in statistics from Southern Methodist University, a B.S. in mathematics from Arlington State College (now the University of Texas at Arlington), and certificates from U.S. Navy Class A Electronics Schools.

34. Homework Assignments Homework problems (11 for credit) will be posted on Blackboard with the Due Dates Homework problem solutions shall be independent work Your grades will be posted on the Blackboard within 1 week of due date Review my solutions on Blackboard Retain a copy of everything you submit

35. Homework Submission Requirements Please submit the homework solution via Blackboard. Your id is your SMU id number. Your password is same as your SMU account password • Attach Local File • Submit For a submission problem, contact assistants Do not send zipped files, or other files which have been compressed. It is easier to optimize the file. Avoid scanning your work and sending it as a large image. This is an inefficient use of the internet. Make images 72 dpi, and use color only if necessary and do not use shading. These files may be printed, so please do not make the print area larger than 8.5” X 11”.

36. Homework Submission Requirements (Continued) Homework Solution Requirements • Electronic • Handwritten and Scanned • A zip or tar file containing multiple files is NOT acceptable • Each file less than 1M Preferred Homework Solution File Format • Acrobat PDF • Microsoft WORD • Microsoft Excel • Equation editor is worth your time to learn • Microsoft PowerPoint • Image Format (JPG)

37. Homework Problem Grading A maximum of 9.0 can be obtained if the answer is wrong, but method is correct If one part of the problem is marked down, subsequent parts that rely on this original part will not be marked down because of this error, but may be marked down for other reasons Assignments showing no method but only the correct answer will not receive more than a 5.0

38. Homework Problem Grading Individual assignments will receive a grade from 0 to 10 in 0.5 increments. Assignments will receive a 10 if and only if the answer is correct and the method for obtaining the answer is correct. If a student misinterprets a problem, but solves it correctly according to his misinterpretation, the assignment may receive a 10 if it covers the topics required and the misinterpretation is reasonable.

47. The 4+1 Master’s Degree Program The 4+1 Program permits the SMU Engineering student to study towards B.S. and M.S degrees simultaneously and possibly with fewer courses than if taken separately. Up to nine (9) SCH of graduate course work can be applied towards the undergraduate degree requirements. In such cases, students may fulfill both bachelors and masters degree requirements in as few as 21 SCH beyond the B.S. coursework. For more info see: http://lyle.smu.edu/emis/Programs/4___1_Master_s_Degree_Program/4___1_master_s_degree_program.html

48. Roadmap to Multiple Masters Degrees with Fewer Total Courses SMU’s School of Engineering permits its graduate students to take advantage of degree-requirement overlaps to acquire a second Masters degree by taking as few as six courses (18 semester credit hours). This is available for prospective and current graduate students, as well as alumni who have already received a MS from SMU.
