Course Catalog: Software Engineering & Management

SOT 210


3 Offerings

Design of Experiments (DOE) is a powerful test methodology recommended by DoD leadership for the development and implementation of rigorous Test and Evaluation (T&E) programs. This course, designed for all DoD personnel, provides foundational understanding of essential DOE techniques and complementary best practices for comprehensive experimental planning, with emphasis on both statistical and non-quantitative elements. Graduates will gain immediate skills for increased engagement within test planning teams, whose ultimate goal is an efficient and effective approach for understanding system performance and delivering quality information to decision makers.

SWE 201


Online

This course defines and describes the software engineering book of knowledge SWEBOK life cycle phases, how software engineering SWE activities are managed, and principle areas of interest and concern when working on a software intensive program. Students learn fundamental software engineering concepts used in the Department of Defense DoD, identify common software management, acquisition, and engineering roles, and understand the Air Force’s principle SWE concerns. Course Objective: Comprehend current software engineering processes and methodologies. Comprehend the software lifecycle phases and knowledge areas of the SWEBOK. Comprehend the management activities associated with a software intensive system as described in AF and industry best practice policies and guidelines. Comprehend challenges in developing and sustaining software. Describe the roles associated with software teams.

SWE 301


Online

The overall goal for the course is to provide a comprehensive review of the phases, processes and models used by the Air Force in the management of a software project. Topics include software source selection techniques, understanding and generating various project management metrics, creating an environment for success, dealing with failure and misconceptions, and how to interact with stakeholders. Students learn source selection techniques, understand software development and maintenance models, comprehend programmatic metrics, and understand factors that affect project success and customer relations. SWE 301 is taught online by asynchronous distance learning.

SYS 182


Online

This self-paced, web-based course introduces students to the importance of applying SE to acquisition and sustainment programs, provides an overview of SE concepts and process elements, and describes the interactions between SE and other functional areas.

SYS 282


10 Offerings

There is a need for all acquisition professionals to understand the interdisciplinary and cross- functional nature of Systems Engineering SE, and the benefits of following a sound SE process. This course provides the knowledge and understanding necessary to meet this need. Students engineers and non- engineering professionals are introduced to SE concepts and the SE process. The activities and tools for implementing and managing the SE process during various phases of the system life cycle, and the interactions between SE and other disciplines/functions are discussed. Exercises give students the opportunity to apply SE tools to the acquisition and sustainment life cycle.
