This program provides students with a unified foundation in defining system needs, developing system architectures and managing complex engineering efforts.

The program teaches students to understand stakeholder requirements, apply architectural reasoning and utilize project management tools to plan, design and coordinate large-scale systems. Emphasis is placed on lifecycle thinking, structured decision-making and the integration of engineering and managerial disciplines into a coherent execution framework.

1. Identify and describe stakeholder needs, system requirements and lifecycle constraints relevant to complex engineering efforts.

2. Explain and interpret fundamental system architecture concepts, including decomposition, interfaces, functional flows and trade-space elements.

3. Apply architectural reasoning methods and project management tools to structure, plan and coordinate system development activities.

4. Analyze stakeholder requirements, dependencies, risks, and architectural alternatives to support structured decision-making across the system lifecycle.

5. Evaluate system architectures, integration strategies and program management approaches using quantitative and qualitative criteria.

6. Create coherent, end-to-end system execution frameworks that integrate engineering analysis,

   architectural design and program management practices.
