But Not Accessible Little Formal SE Traditional Deterministic+ Probabilistic Probabilistic Probabilistic Roles Many Experienced S.E. ‘s & Program Managers Experienced S.E.’s May Not Be in Same Group Specialists Who Are Systems Thinkers In Charge of Dev Process Improvement Why Masters? S.E. Culture Stretch Capabilities – Personally & Organizationally New Tasks New Methods New Position New Tasks New Methods New Products New Position New Job Needs a Degree Wide Variety Tasks Student Comments about Masters Degree from PSU BH Large Telecom Company Training is critical to completing job assignments, but "we don't know what we don't know.“ DS Large Consulting Company in Wash DC Masters helped distinguish me with new skills that will make me relevant in my field. TN Consulting Company in Wash DC My education helped me succeed in a new position for a high risk, high visibility program. FH Large Foreign Petroleum Company OJT provide s me with about 70% of the knowledge , but I need more to effectively serve our company. PM Very Large IC Company in an Operations Role My role at Intel has changed 4 times since I started the program. BB Very Large IC Company in an Operations Role Systems are part of everything, from an entire factory to System-on-a-Chip (SoC). Neil Chung, P.E. | SAIC | Chief Systems Engineer Promoted Chief systems engineer for the Defense & Homeland Solutions operation, approximately 2,000 employees - Assistant vice president for Science & Technology My education is used every day in any one of many roles: - Systems architect (my primary project role) - Requirements manager (my secondary project role) - Lots of business development since I can convey big picture systems concepts to customers - Understand how to deliver the project, from start to finish, prior to starting it - Mentoring developing engineers SAIC’s in-house S.E. program primarily focuses on requirements management. Expert systems engineers typically teach fellow engineers who are working on the same project with them. E-Portfolio updated and accessible, used for professional references. Masters OJT In Between - courses & projects - experience & training - wide & overlapping CSEP Certification – prep for exam at PNNL, INCOSE, Universities INCOSE/IEEE Membership – conferences, publications, Cascade Academic Certifications – specialty topics, mini-masters, short course Graduate Courses as a Non-Admitted Student – register/free Other Grad Programs - Electives with systems engineering - Engineering Management e.g. WSU - Electrical Engineering Vendor Training – webinars, on site Wiki’s, Internet Groups Teach/Modify a Class Masters Learning Environment • Systems Thinking • Understand vague problem statements • Develop an appreciation of broader thinking and its relationship to real world problems faced by practicing engineers • Engage in a diverse team to engineer solutions to complex and ambiguous problems • Function in a modern learning organization as a constructive member of that organization. • Variety of Systems Engineering Viewpoints & Development Processes • Breadth of Exposures to Faculty and Fellow Students • Methodology for Getting Started on a Project • What and How of Learning and Learning to Learn • Provides a Structure for Self-Improvement • Term Projects from Job • Masters Project from Job – not internships, directed experiences Masters Degree in Systems Engineering Demand Side Supply Side INCOSE Members (2003 survey) Undergrad-25% Graduate -55% PhD – 17% Institutions (2010 INCOSE survey) BS - 13 MS – 41 PhD – 14 SEEC Classroom and Practicum and Experience Classical Education How to Think, by going astray Not What is Important for Next Job , possibly forming habits that may not apply "To stay where you are, keep running"
