small scale problem so theybecome comfortable with this engineering design process. The required courses in the majoralign with program educational outcomes and are the methods and formulation courses shown inFigure 2 for the department learning model. These courses also emphasize specific phases of theSDP. For example, SE385 Decision Analysis provides cadets with advanced methods to use inthe Decision Making phase. EM411, Project Management enables cadets to understand how toimplement a systems solution.Systems engineering majors culminate their education in two Capstone Design courses, SE402and SE403, which are listed under the required electives in Figure 5. Cadets use the SDP to workon a new, significant problem with a real client who is
