This course, led by Steve Chenoweth, provides an overview of Systems Engineering (SE), exploring its relevance through current events and practical applications such as NASA's Mars Curiosity rover. The curriculum includes an introduction to key concepts, a syllabus overview, and team project discussions. Students will engage with materials from notable textbooks and gain insights into complex systems, real-time scenarios, and historical perspectives. A unique 'Deep Dive' video segment will enhance understanding of SE principles.
