Abstract

The Accelerated Masters Program (AMP) in systems engineering at the University of Virginia concludes with a capstone systems integration course designed to enable students in the program to demonstrate mastery of systems engineering skills and methods and to apply them to a large scale problem of national significance. This paper summarizes the work statement provided to the 2005-06 AMP cohort. Four teams of 10-11 students each address the problem of developing a preliminary system design for a national hazardous material (HAZMAT) truck tracking system and present their recommendations to the Transportation Security Administration
