Friday Sept. 29, 10:00am, ME 218
Brian Muirhead, chief engineer at JPL, will be giving a lecture, "Take Risk, Don't Fail: The Art and Science of Systems Engineering." Please plan to attend, extra credit will be given if you submit a short summary of the talk.
--This talk will provide a unique overview and insight into the process of systems engineering and qualities of the engineers who practice it. Examples of specific problems taken from recent NASA/Jet Propulsion Lab missions including the Mars Exploration Rover, Deep Impact and Mars Pathfinder will illustrate different approaches and skills needed to identify, assess, resolve, and validate solutions to complex, multi-disciplinary problems. This talk will emphasize the inherent "fuzziness" of systems engineering problems and the roles and characteristics of the teams who must solve them.
