BS in Electrical Engineering (U.S. Naval Academy) MS in Systems Engineering (The George Washington University) PhD in Systems Engineering (The George Washington University) Completed MS & PhD programs while working full-time in San Diego First time on GWU campus was for PhD hooding ceremony About me…

Graduate Certificate in Systems Engineering Master of Science in Systems Engineering or Engineering Management Doctor of Philosophy in Systems Engineering or Engineering Management In person programs available in VA & MD Special arrangements with corporations can bring professors to the workplace (even in CA!) Online programs offered worldwide Programs Offered

Graduate Certificate earned in conjunction with Master’s Program following completion of core courses 12-course (36 credit-hour) program explores the seven essential tasks of systems engineering defined by INCOSE: State the problem, Investigate alternatives, Model the system, Integrate, Launch the system, Assess performance, and Re- evaluate Requires: –Bachelor’s degree with a minimum grade average of B in the last two years of undergraduate study from a recognized institution –Grades of C or better in two college calculus courses Grad Cert & Master’s Program

Accelerated program can be completed in less than 3 years Consists of 4 milestones: –Completion of course work (10 classes, 36 credit-hours) –Presentation at professional conference –Acceptance for publication in scientific journal –Successful dissertation defense GRE or GMAT not required PhD Program

Master’s program met in person every other week for two consecutive nights (4:30 – 7:30 Wednesdays and Thursdays) Great camaraderie with fellow employees/classmates Immediate application in the workplace Minimal disruptions to work and family life Life During Master’s Program

Called accelerated for a reason! First 15 months required full-day sessions every Saturday –Sundays mainly spent doing homework –Significant reading and prep-work throughout the week Independent research phase less intense (at least for me) –Schedule largely driven by external influences (conference timing and publication timelines) –Meetings with advisors held about every 6 weeks Required dedication of student and family “Life” During PhD Program
8
Master’s program provided me with essential SE tools Confidently and competently led engineering efforts for nuclear weapon infrastructure program Promoted within the company PhD program provided me with in-depth, cutting-edge skill set Interfaced with and provided direction to other PhDs (engineers and scientists) working on V-22 Osprey program Enabled career move to applied medical research organization Life After
