Distance Learning Put To The Test
From: Student in EMIS 7370
By: Walter Yazzie
I was able to take my test #2 on Wednesday 20 Feb 02. You should receive it
soon if you have not already. I have attached the take home problems to this
email.
I am putting this distance learning to the test. I have studied for this class in
Germany, France, Spain, USA, and I am on my way to Macedonia. I plan to
finish my homework, project and final while deployed. Once I get in place I will
begin sending homework.
Have a good day,
Walter Yazzie

• Goal - to maintain the SEP alignment with
– INCOSE, EIA, IEEE, AIA and DoD/Mil SE standards,
policy, and technology
– industry and government needs
• Strategy - build on aerospace/defense partnerships
– most of the professors who teach SE courses are employed by
aerospace / defense organizations
– majority of SEP students are employed full-time by the
aerospace / defense sector – industry and government.
• Plans
– Continue to expand SEP –breath & depth
– Continue to refine SEP product line to reflect customer needs
– Expand SEP into other business sectors
A Growing Program with Flexible Extended Reach
