Learning About Systems Engineering
Masters, OJT, and Points In Between
Design with a Big D is Systems Engineering
Herm Migliore Portland State University<[email protected]>
Education1968 Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering – Ford1969 Master of Engineering- materials engineering applications1975 Doctor of Engineering – computational mechanics (Chrysler)
Experience1966-1972 Design Engineer1977 - 1997Mechanical Engineering Senior Design Projects1997 – Present Advisor to Systems Engineering Masters Projects

AgenciesProjects with Older, Working Students
S.E. Types of Development ProcessesTraditional – Deterministic Know What You KnowStructured and experienced including BoK, handbooks, certificationRequirements and Interface management intensiveThe System – legacy, precedent, or maybe a few novelties using new technologyOJT + and/or + Classroom and ExercisesPrecedented DoD systems
Probabilistic Know What You Don’t Know
Interested parties identify problem and intervention systems.Novel solutionsPracticum (OJT) + plus + ClassroomAdvanced DoD and Commercial product development NonDeterministic Don’t Know What You: Know & Don’t_Know Ambiguous problematic situations for systems that may be chaotic, complex,
adaptive, autonomous, resilient, sustainable, agile, including human activityNovel Programs such as Entrepreneurial Start-Ups

SEEC “As Is”
SEEC – Jack Ring, S.E. Fellow
PSE Competencies1. Capability to establish a system ontology2. Capability to provide models of problem and solution systems3. Capability to converge risks and creativity to closure4. Agility and change proficiency5. Engineer “peopled systems” :Technical, Cultural, Political
relationships
Provider Competencies1. Do assessment and make continuous improvements2. Know how to see the SEEC and PSE as Systems3. Customize learning program to each PSE4. Be Collaborative, Agile, and Change Proficient just as PSE
must be

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.
TNConsulting 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 - courses & projects OJT - experience & trainingIn Between - 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 siteWiki’s, Internet GroupsTeach/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

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"
