• ME EN 5166: Model'Based Sys Eng

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  This course teaches students model-based systems engineering, which is a fundamental tool of systems engineers. The course teaches Systems Modeling Language (Sys-ML), a theoretical modeling tool. Students will build their own Sys-ML diagrams and models in industry-relevant software. Specifically, the course covers the development of SysML behavior (activity, sequence, state machine, use case), structure (block definition, package, parametric, internal block), and requirement diagrams. The software will allow students to simulate and integrate parametric equations with constraints to properly document systems requirements and other systems engineering concepts. Prerequisites: 'C' or better in (ME EN 5160 OR SIME 5400) AND (ME EN 5170 OR SIME 5410) AND Full Major status in College of Engineering

• ME EN 5183: Discrete Simulation

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  This course introduces discrete event simulation (through Arena) and how it is applied to dynamic systems. Discrete event simulation concepts such as entities, resources, and event chains are introduced. Systems will be simulated considering time (such as work schedules, machine/human performance), space (such as process layout) and resource (such as manpower, equipment) characteristics of process. In doing that, the course covers a variety of Arena features and building blocks. The course will also introduce time studies, and distribution fitting.
