Course Descriptions
|
|
|
Course descriptions are listed in alphabetical order.
Standard information for each course includes the number, title, and credits (sometimes called credit hours or semester hours). For some courses, you will find information on the hours of class, laboratory, or studio for which the course is scheduled in each week of a regular semester; these weekly hours are expanded during summer sessions. Fees for courses are assessed on the basis of credits and other factors.
The course-numbering system generally suggests levels of difficulty and appropriateness. Courses at the 100 and 200 levels comprise introductory offerings and those are most commonly taken by freshmen and sophomores. Courses at the 300 and 400 levels are primarily for juniors and seniors. In some Purdue programs, undergraduates take courses at the 500 level, but generally courses numbered 500 and above are for graduate students.
Preparation for courses is indicated as follows:
P: indicates a prerequisite that must precede your enrollment in the course described. You may find one or more specific course numbers, the number of credits you should already have in a subject, a placement-test level, or other conditions.
C: indicates a corequisite that must be taken no later than the same semester in which you take the course described.
R: indicates a recommendation concerning conditions to be met for enrollment in the course.
When no subject code is shown for prerequisites, corequisites, and recommended courses, they are in the same subject area as the course being described. If you lack a prerequisite or corequisite, or if you wish to take a course numbered at a higher level than your present status, you should seek the department’s or instructor’s consent to enroll in the course.
V.T. means Variable Title and is shown for courses for which the title may be changed to specify the topic or other special focus of each offering.
Purdue University Fort Wayne reserves the right to add, withdraw, or change courses without notice.

SE 51000 - Systems Engineering
Systems Engineering (SE) is a structured approach to developing interdisciplinary and complex products. This course introduces SE methodologies spanning the product development life cycle from initial scope definition through delivery of the prototype or first production article. SE techniques are used to define and manage requirements, analyze and optimize product architectures, develop comprehensive designs, plan and supervise manufacturing, test and evaluation, and implement the production line. SE also provides techniques for ensuring that system-level requirements (i.e., reliability, maintainability, safety, etc.) are incorporated into the final product. Spanning all these activities are a set of SE analysis and control functions that continuously assess and manage the product scope, quality, configuration, interfaces, and performance.
