A third-year level undergraduate course focused on a topic not normally covered in the course offerings. The topic usually reflects new developments in the systems and information engineering field. Offering is based on student and faculty interests.Prerequisites: Instructor Permission

This course shows how to use linear statistical models for analysis in engineering and science. The course emphasizes the use of regression models for description, prediction, and control in a variety of applications. Building on multiple regression, the course also covers principal component analysis, analysis of variance and covariance, logistic regression, time series methods, and clustering. Prerequisite: CS 2100, APMA 3100 and APMA 3120.

A case-based approach to the design of user interfaces with a focus on iterative project experiences. Display design concepts are related to ecological factors, situational awareness, attention, vision, and information processing. Project cases are tied to real-world problems of decision support on mobile platforms, large scale command and control, and data visualization, among others. Prerequisites: SYS 3023 or CS 3205.

"This course is an introduction to the theory of the industrial organization (from a game-theoretic perspective) and its applications to industries with strong engineering content (electricity, telecommunications, software & hardware etc.) Topics include: congestion pricing in networks, pricing and efficiency in electricity markets, planned obsolescence in software development, ""network"" effects and the dynamics of technology adoption etc. Prerequisites: ECON 2010 and a course in probability (either APMA 3100, APMA 3110, or Math 3100)."

This course is an introduction to the theory, methods, and applications of risk analysis and systems engineering. The topics include research and development priorities, risk-cost-benefit analysis, emergency management, human health and safety, environmental risk, extreme events, infrastructure resilience, system interdependencies, and enterprise systems. Corequisites: a course in probability (APMA 3100 or APMA 3110 or Math 3100).

A design project extending throughout the fall and spring semesters. Involves the study of a real-world, open-ended situation, including problem formulation, data collection, analysis and interpretation, model building and analysis, and generation of solutions. Students work on the same project with the same team in SYS 4053 and 4054 in subsequent semesters.  Pre-requisites: SYS 2001 and SYS 2202 and FOUR of the following (SYS 3021 or SYS 3023 or SYS 3034 or SYS 3060 or  SYS 3062)
