Session Description

Graduate education is undergoing significant transformation as we seek to better prepare students for the increasingly complex challenges of the 21st century. The National Science Foundation Research Traineeship (NRT) and Innovations in Graduate Education (IGE) programs have pioneered innovative approaches to graduate education that integrate research excellence with broader skill development for an array of career paths. This panel aims to highlight the experiences of current Principal Investigators (PIs) involved in the NRT and IGE programs and to showcase their creative methodologies for enhancing graduate education

Society depends in an essential way on modern engineered systems – for example, ambulance dispatch, air traffic control, hospital operations, process control at factories and refineries, and so forth – and therefore, it is of vital importance to reduce (in both frequency and magnitude of impact) to some pre-determined acceptable level the incidence of unplanned adverse dynamic behavior that occurs in such systems after deployment.

In this lecture, Dr. Siegel examines how the systems-engineering techniques used on these types of large, ... (continued)
