THE SYSTEMS ENGINEERING MANAGMENT MAJOR
| USAFA's System Engineering Management Program emphasizes a system-of-systems approach that integrates a rigorous engineering and management curriculum augmented with studies in human systems, operations research analysis, program management, and the core crriculum. Cadets will learn that the systems engineering process is an interdisciplinary engineering process that evolves, verifies, and documents an integrated, life-cycle-balanced set of system solutions that satisfy customer needs. |
