Description
Introduction of the Course

3
Course Description -- Introduction

• Enterprise systems engineering is a multidisciplinary approach combining

systems engineering and strategic management to address methods and
approaches for aligning system architectures with enterprise business rules
and underlying IT architecture; development and implementation consistent
with enterprise strategic objectives; and the total enterprise system and
capabilities, with diverse complex subsystems.

4
Course Description – Introduction (Cont..)

• This course uses the systems engineering life cycle as a framework for linking
outcome-based engineering analysis and decision making with enterprise
strategic objectives, addressing methods and tools for managing complexity,
determining measures of effectiveness, and assessing return on investment
from an engineering perspective.

5
Course Description – Introduction (Cont..)

• The complex nature of enterprises will be discussed, including the multiplicity of

technical and business components involved in delivering enterprise capability,
as well as methods for modeling and analysis of their interdependence.

• Business and technical interdependencies among infrastructure, computing,

applications, services, and end-user environments will be discussed. Particular
attention will be paid to outcome-based management, understanding total cost
of ownership for delivered capabilities, and end-to-end systems engineering.

Course Goal Goal of the Course

11
Course Goal

• Through the application of independent research, critical thinking skills, and

class interaction; students are asked to establish a working definition of
enterprise systems engineering and its relationship to conventional systems
engineering and systems-of-systems engineering; and

• To apply this knowledge to the development of an enterprise systems

engineering process model designed to address some of the enterprise-level
challenges being experienced in Government and Industry.

Course Objectives

• By the end of the course, students should be able to:

• Identify the significant similarities and differences between Systems Engineering,
System-of-Systems Engineering, and Enterprise Systems Engineering.
• Develop critical thinking skills in the area of Enterprise Systems Engineering by
critiquing research and recommending approaches to improve or correct the
research.
• Adapt existing Systems Engineering techniques applying critical thinking skills to
develop new System-of-System approaches to solve Enterprise Systems
Engineering problems.
14
Course Objectives (Cont..)

• By the end of the course, students should be able to:

• Construct an Enterprise Systems Engineering model applying critical
thinking skills to support the evolution of a complex enterprise system.
• Use Enterprise Systems Engineering appropriate critical thinking skills to
judge an Enterprise Systems Engineering model's ability to address
challenges unique to complex enterprise systems.
