Courses to be taken - Spring '11
Here are the names and the descriptions of 5 courses I enroll this semester. 1 will be dropped by next week after seeing syllabuses and the 1st lecture.

EMIS7303 Integrated Risk Management
An introduction to risk management based upon integrated trade studies of program performance, cost, and schedule requirements. Topics include risk planning, risk identification and assessment, risk handling and abatement, risk impact analysis, management of risk handling and abatement, and subcontractor risk management. Integrated risk management methods procedures, and tools will be examined.
EMIS7305 Systems Reliability, Supportability, and Availability Analysis
This course is an introduction to systems reliability, maintainability, supportability and availability (RMS/A) modeling and analysis with an application to systems requirements definition and systems design and development. Both deterministic and stochastic models are covered. Emphasis is placed on RMS/A analyses to establish a baseline for systems performance and to provide a quantitative basis for systems trade-offs.
Goals: To provide students with an understanding of systems analysis and optimization as a basis for product and service engineering and development decisions based on tradeoffs involving multiple alternatives and uncertainty, for application in industry and government as well as in other engineering courses.
EMIS7307 Systems Integration and Test
The process of successively synthesizing and validating larger and larger segments of a partitioned system within a controlled and instrumented framework is examined. System integration and test is the structured process of building a complete system from its individual elements and is the final step in the development of a fully functional system. The significance of structuring and controlling integration and test activities is stressed. Formal methodologies for describing and measuring test coverage, as well as sufficiency and logical closure for test completeness, are presented. Interactions with system modeling techniques and risk management techniques are discussed. The subject material is based upon principles of specific engineering disciplines and best practices, which form a comprehensive basis for organizing, analyzing, and conducting integration and test activities.
EMIS7357 DECISION-SUPPORT SYSTEMS
The development and implementation of a data-centric, decision-support systems, the underlying technologies, and current applications and trends. Includes decision making, DSS components, optimization models, expert systems, data mining and visualization, knowledge discovery, and management and executive information systems. Prerequisite: EMIS 7360. EMIS 8360 is recommended but not required.
CSE7382 Computer Graphics
Hardware and software components of computer graphics systems: display files, two-dimensional and three-dimensional transformations, clipping and windowing perspective, hidden line elimination and shaping, and interactive graphics and applications. Prerequisite: CSE 2341 or equivalent.
