Role of 580
• Resident MSSE is the flagship curriculum for SE department– Greatest depth– Greatest breadth– Serves as residential center of excellence for common core
courses delivered to non-resident audiences– Educates the technical leadership of tomorrow’s Navy
• Non-resident DL MSSE reaches larger numbers– Great potential impact on Navy/DoD workforce– Somewhat less breadth and depth– Builds on students’ stronger eng’g work experience– Educates the technical workforce
• Resident MS in SE Analysis (with OR) has high visibility– Major capstone projects

Some of the initiatives underway in SE
• Establishing satellite programs to deliver SE education at locations with concentration– Patuxent River in March 08 (actually this week)– Others for FY09, including MARCORSYSCOM,
NAVSEA, and SPAWAR
• Programs in management of Modeling and Simulation– Degree and certificate
• Developing tracks around domains of application
7
NPS Unique
• Navy graduate education is to provide skills needed for Navy billets– A sponsor determines which billets under his control
require certain skills; Billets get coded (“P” code)– Sponsor provides Educational Skill Requirements
(ESRs)
• NPS develops/offers programs to meet ESRs– Degree included in program -- attractive to student– In most cases, ESR course requirements exceed
degree requirements– Graduate gets a subspecialty (“P”) code– Personnel system tries to match grads to billets

Different Sets of Systems Engineering Practitioners
• “Sponsor-level” systems engineering is what allows the Joint Capability Integration and Development System to define effective operational concepts, mission architectures, and conceptual alternatives.– Pentagon (Unrestricted Line Officer and Senior Civilian) -focused– Identifying, analyzing, and documenting required “capabilities”
• “Acquirer-level” systems engineering is what allows Acquisition Programs to meet cost, schedule, performance, and suitability goals for systems of systems and families of systems.– Acquisition Workforce-focused – Military and Civilian– Emphasis on Risk Management and Alternatives Evaluation
• “Developer-level” systems engineering is what allows Development Projects to successfully meet contract/project requirements.– Laboratory-, Warfare Center-, and Contractor-focused (mostly civilian)– Synthesis of “system-level-optimal” and “engineering-feasible” designs
10
Approach
• Develop ABET-Accredited, Resident MSSE Degree Program to Start July 2006 (Done – Curric 580, MSSE – ABET to come)
• Tailored programs to align with Navy needs and customers– One Common Set of MSSE Courses for various programs– Tailored Track Courses
• Start with three domain tracks– Ship Systems Engineering– Network-Centric Systems Engineering– Combat Systems Engineering
• Discipline tracks (EE, MAE, e.g.) also available• Minimize impact on existing curricula, draw on existing NPS courses
where possible• Develop and/or adjust courses where necessary • Establish appropriate SE core to support SE discipline, sponsor
needs, faculty P&T needs, SE research
11
Current Update Motivations
• Students for the 580 resident MSSE curriculum arrived with better backgrounds than anticipated, changing assumptions used in curricular design.
• We desire to align on and off campus degree programs better.
• We seek to achieve ‘unity of command’ for key SE course offerings by placing them in the SE department
• Hidden motive here• Sponsor briefed and concurred in November 2007.

Tracks
• SE department will continue to offer domain tracks in combat systems engineering, ship systems engineering, and network-centric systems engineering.– Will use existing SE and other GSEAS courses to assemble, particularly
TSSE– Conforms to sponsor’s guidance from last fall
• Other departments have been encouraged to offer disciplinary tracks and to support existing or new domain tracks for other customers
• DL program has expressed interest in four of the course tracks listed on next slide– Interest is predominantly for domain tracks– Some would need major development to be offered
15
SESG Proposed Tracks for DL programs
• Human Systems Integration• Test and Evaluation• Mission Systems Engineering• Shipyard/Waterfront
Engineering• Total Ship Systems
Engineering• Land and Amphibious Systems
Engineering
• C4ISR SE• Weapons SE• Reliability Eng.• Logistics Eng.• Safety Eng.• Network Centric Systems• System of Systems
Engineering• Aviation Systems• Software Engineering
Currently being considered – not all will be implemented
16
What is changing?
• We are updating the common core courses• We are embedding the project in the core sequence• We are lengthening the domain track
– Allows electives, prerequisites, or greater depth in track
• We have shortened overall time from 9 quarters to 8 quarters while increasing SE and technical depth.– Savings to relevant Navy accounts and mission funds– Less disruptive to officer student quality of life: summer rotations
17
Some Current Resident MSSE Thesis Topics
• LCDR Keith Ruegger– A Unified Architecture Development Framework for Netcentric Operations Systems.– Huynh
• LCDR Mike Erickson– A Vulnerability Analysis of Helicopters in Iraq. A helicopter vulnerability analysis based on information
in the Combat Data Reporting System (CDIRS) data base and with interviews with the Joint Combat Assessment Teams (JCAT).
– Hart/Adams• LCDR Cinda Brown
– Effects of Budget Allocation on Cost Uncertainty Models for Naval vessels. This is in conjunction with Professor Kujawski's research:
– Kujawski/Angelis• LT Mark Aaragon
– Integration of Remote Automated Position Identification System (RAPIDS) into current and future naval systems using systems engineering, specifically the spiral process model.
– Whitcomb/Paulo• LT Chris Epp
– Port Defense from Hostile Cargo Ships. Develop a system of systems to counter attacks by rogue or pirated merchant vessels on coastal infrastructures
– Huynh/Khoo• LT Judd Southworth
– A Systems Architecting Approach to Designing Combat Salvage and Diving Mission Packages. Whitcomb/Papoulias
• LT Chris Addington– Ship Survivability. Investigate advanced methods to accomplish ship survivability analyses in early
stage design.– Adams/Whitcomb
18
Current 580 Student Projects• Architecture Study for Future Amphibious Warfare
– Considering the future of shipbuilding, what is possible for a future architecture to accomplish amphibious warfare, given the need to reduce the dependency on the current use of multiple platforms to accomplish the missions. In conjunction with TSSE.
– LCDR Mike Erickson, LCDR Cinda Brown, LT Chris Epp, LT Judd Southworth• Application of Sound Systems Engineering Principles to the Insertion of
Future Force Technologies– Enhance operational capabilities and accelerate development of breakthrough
technologies, and evaluate these technologies for their possible contribution as way-stations to the future force. Essentially, evolutionary acquisition of large, complex weapons systems results in certain enabling technologies to spiral out periodically for insertion into the future force.
– LT Mark Aragon, LT Chris Addington• International Maritime Immersive Collaboration Center (IMIC2) & Virtual
Maritime Operations Center (VMOC)– Project born while LT Koszarek was an Associate Fellow with the CNO’s
Strategic Studies Group (SSG) last year. Project is about building partnerships and using those partnerships to affect change. The platform I will be developing is tied to a very specific technology, the immersive virtual environment (IVE), but the concept behind it is universal for anyone engaged in the success of the Global Maritime Partnership both today and tomorrow.
– LCDR Keith Ruegger, LT Kiah Rahming, LT Will Koszarek
19
Quality assurance plan
• Student Observations Forms – every student, every course, every quarter
• Student feedback sessions – each student cohort, every quarter, discussing every course and quality of life issues
• Informal sensing• Action items managed in spreadsheet by AA; resolution
tracked• Complicated for courses not controlled in department• Making progress; continuously improving
20
ABET status
• Other three programs had their review last fall (EE, ME, AE); next review in 2013
• ABET requires longitudinal data on graduates as part of review
• We plan to request off-cycle review in 2010• Known issues at this time
– Must clearly delineate between ABET and non-ABET programs internally and externally; plan to address with separate degree names
– Must continue to document undergraduate ABET equivalency– Outcome assessment is key, and will involve sponsor feedback– No ‘show stoppers’
21
NAVAIR and other SYSCOM Expansion
• DL programs are beginning rapid growth at request of ASN RDA and SYSCOMS– 90 students started in FY06– 120 in FY07– 150 in FY08– 240 in FY09– 360 in FY10 and out
• Mix includes ‘embedded faculty’ in SYSCOMs for local face-to-face instruction– Faculty research closely aligned/supported by SYSCOM
• Different set of entrance requirements• Predominantly civilians, but significant officer component
– Naval Test Pilot Graduates, in particular– Variants of 580 p-code being developed by NAVAIR– Billets have already been coded– RDML Eastburg is the NAVAIR champion
