Eligibility: CSE students must apply for admission to the certificate program through the Department of Industrial and Systems
Engineering and will be admitted in nondegree status, as defined by the UF graduate catalog. They must have earned a bachelor’s
degree in an appropriate field as outlined below and be employed in, or interested in pursuing additional education in Systems
Engineering. The decision on admission to the CSE program is made by the ISE Academic Advisor at the REEF or the ISE
Graduate Coordinator, based on interview with the applicant.
Successful completion of the program and receipt of the certificate requires completion of all required courses with a grade of B or
higher.
Prerequisites: Generally, a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering is a prerequisite for the CSE program. However, other quantitative
disciplines such as physics, computer science, and/or mathematics may be acceptable with appropriate background courses,
as determined by the ISE Academic Advisor at the REEF.
COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
ESI 6553 Systems Design (3 Cr.)
Prerequisites: Linear algebra, calculus, and probability. This course provides a broad introduction to Systems Engineering and
the structured approach necessary for the design of complex systems. The course considers the system design process,
including requirements identification, conceptual design, system test and evaluation, etc. Basic mathematical tools for
systems design and analysis, such as decision making models and economic evaluation, optimization techniques, queuing
theory, control concepts, are introduced. System design for reliability and maintainability is discussed.

and Management). ISBN: 0-471-536-39-3.
ESI 6555 Systems Management (3 Cr.)
Prerequisites: ESI 6553 Systems Design; Linear algebra, calculus, and probability. Systems engineering is a discipline that
addresses the management of systems of increasing complexity in military, industrial, commercial, and civil areas. This course
will acquaint students with concepts of systems and the role systems engineering plays in their development. It will also provide
a basic framework for planning and assessing system development and how systems analysis methods and techniques are
integrated within the systems engineering process

ESI 6552 Systems Architecture (3 Cr.)
Prerequisites: ESI 6553 Calculus/linear algebra. The course provides the foundations for developing and evaluating architectures
for systems of systems. The process for generating a functional, physical and operational architecture from a top level operations
concept is presented.
Required & recommended texts: A. P. Sage, Systems Engineering, 624 pp. 1992, Wiley-Interscience (Wiley Series in
Systems Engineering and Management). ISBN: 0-471-536-39-3; D. M. Buede, The Engineering Design of Systems: Models and

ESI 6314 Deterministic Methods of Operations Research (4 Cr.)
Introduction to basic models and their solution with modern computer packages. Emphasis on modeling, computer solution, and
sensitivity analysis with minimal reference to model theory and development of algorithmic methods.
Text: W. Winston, “Introduction to Mathematical Programming”, 4th edition, Duxbury Resource Center, 2003.
ESI 6429 Digital Simulation Techniques (3 Cr.)
This purpose of this course is to introduce students to the digital simulation techniques and industrial applications. The emphasis
is on building computer-based models for real systems and performing simulation experiments to evaluate the behavior of a system
under different sets of conditions. Students are required to do a term project, as detailed in a separate handout.

ESI 5236 Reliability Engineering (3 Cr.)
Prerequisite: STA 4321 or STA 6326. Mathematical models and methods of reliability engineering. Typical component failure
distributions; system reliability as a function of component reliability. Reliability block diagrams and fault trees.
Text: E. Lewis, "Introduction to Reliability Engineering," 2nd edition, Wiley, 1995.
EIN 6912 Case Studies in Systems Engineering (3 Cr.)
Prerequisites: Systems Design, System Architecture, System Management. System engineering addresses the architecture,
design, and management of systems of increasing complexity in military, industrial, commercial, government, and civil areas.
This course will expand on previous course material by emphasizing case studies in system engineering. It will provide a
framework for modeling, estimating, verifying, validating, and assessing system performance. The course will focus on how
various systems techniques are integrated within the systems engineering process. It is a capstone course building on the
required courses in the systems engineering program.
Students will analyze large systems with cases taken from government, commercial, economic, political, social, medical, and
environmental topics. Software tools introduced in previous courses will be applied to actual cases for modeling and simulation.
Emphasis will be on the discussion and analysis of the modeling and simulation results.
Text: No required text. Case data, reference materials, software, and research papers will be provided on CD ROM to students.
CEN 5035 Software Engineering (3 Cr.)
The course covers material from every stage of the software development process: requirements, design, development, verification
and validation, and maintenance.
