UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND The University of Maryland College Park is the flagship institution of the University System of Maryland. With a mandate to become nationally and internationally recognized for excellence in research and the advancement of knowledge, College Park serves as the primary statewide center for graduate education and research. It also offers an extensive array of services and programs to federal and state governments, business and industry throughout the world.

College Park is strategically located in the thriving Washington-Baltimore corridor, one of the most prosperous and fast-growing technology areas in the United States. Forty minutes from Baltimore’s industrial and trade center, and thirty minutes from Annapolis, the state capital, the campus enjoys close liaisons between government, business and industry which enrich the student experience through applied research, internships, and career opportunities.

The University is an ideal setting for teaching and learning about the world we live in and the world we are in the process of creating.

MESSAGE TO PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS Thank you for your interest in continuing your engineering education at the University of Maryland.

In the A. James Clark School of Engineering we have created an Office of Advanced Engineering Education (OAEE) to encompass all of our practice-oriented graduate education programs, short courses, workshops, license reviews, etc. The primary emphasis of OAEE is the Professional Master of Engineering Program and the Graduate Certificate in Engineering Program. These programs provide working engineers and technical professionals with the opportunity to continue their education and training at one of the best engineering graduate schools in the nation.

Our main offering is the Professional Master of Engineering (ENPM) Program, which offers the Master of Engineering (M. Eng.) degree for the practicing engineer and has been developed by the engineering faculty of the A. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland.

It is a practice oriented, part-time graduate program designed to a ssist engineers and technical professionals in the development of their careers and to provide the expertise needed in the rapidly changing business, government, and industrial environments. Late afternoon and evening classes are taught by the College Park faculty and experienced adjunct faculty at the College Park campus, designated learning centers in Maryland, and online. The M.Eng. degree requires 30 credits of coursework as opposed to the Master of Science (M.S.) degree that requires 24 credits of coursework plus six credits of thesis (thesis option), or 30 credits of coursework, a written comprehensive examination, plus a scholarly paper (non-thesis option). The M.Eng. degree is not normally undertaken by those wishing to eventually pursue a Ph.D. degree. Typically, the M.S. degree is recommended for those individuals who wish to pursue research experience on their way towards a Ph.D. degree.

Our other graduate program is the Graduate Certificate in Engineering (GCEN), a postbaccalaureate degree which allows engineers at any level (bachelor, master, doctoral) the opportunity to focus their education in a highly specialized area. The GCEN requires the completion of only 12 credits of coursework in a prescribed academic option. This program can be used as a stepping-stone to the ENPM program for a student who may not be willing at first to undertake the task of pursuing a master’s program, but later decides to complete the additional courses required to obtain the Master of Engineering degree.

We trust that you will find either one of our programs to be a convenient way to earn an engineering graduate degree, to “retool” and keep current with the latest technological developments in your field, or perhaps to develop a new area of expertise so as to further your career.

For the most up-to-date information, please visit our website at www.oaee.umd.edu.

If you have any comments or suggestions for improving our programs, please feel free to contact us.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Dr. George Syrmos Executive Director

ENPM 644 Human Factors in Systems Engineering (3) Prerequisite: permission of department.

This course covers the general principles of human factors, or ergonomics as it is sometimes called.

Human Factors (HF) is an interdisciplinary approach toward dealing with issues related to people in systems. It focuses on consideration of the characteristics of human beings in the design of systems and devices of all kinds. It concerns itself with the assignment of appropriate functions for humans and machines - whether the people serve as operators, maintainers, or users of the system or device.

The goal of HFs is to achieve compatibility in the design of interactive systems of people, machines, and environments to ensure their effectiveness, safety and ease of use.ENPM 646 System Life Cycle Cost Analysis and Risk Management (3) This course covers topics related to estimating the costs and risks incurred through the lifetimes of projects, products and systems. In addition, treatment is

given to methods that determine the drivers of costs and risks and then propose the most effective alternatives to reducing them. The course covers relevant analytic tools from probability and statistics and also important managerial and organizational concepts. Extensive use will be made of case studies and examples from industry and government.

ENPM 647 System Quality and Robustness Analysis (3) This course covers systems engineering approaches for creating optimal and robust engineering systems and for quality assurance. It provides an overview of the important tools for quality analysis and quality management of engineering systems. These tools are commonly used in companies and organizations. Focus will be placed on the Baldrige National Quality Program, ISO 9000 certification, 6-sigma systems, and Deming total quality management to examine how high quality standards are sustained and customer requirements and satisfactions are ensured. The Taguchi method for robust analysis and design is covered and applied to case studies. Issues of flexible design over the system life cycle are addressed. Statistical process control, international standards of sampling, and design

Technical Electives The four elective courses can be chosen from other areas such as: project management, information systems, software engineering, computer and software systems, distributed systems, control systems, communication and networking systems, signal processing systems, process systems, manufacturing systems, and operations research.
