Final Deliverable at Morgan State University's PROJ660 Course

At Morgan State University (MSU) we have finally completed the applied project portion of the class and in the video you can see our results.  This was indeed a moment in which a professor is proud of his/her students' hard work over the course of the semester.  See video below:

Morgan State University Engineering Seminar Certificate of Appreciation

I had the pleasure of presenting to a group of graduate engineering students at Morgan State University.  The presentation presented was Systems of Systems Engineering.  I felt this was important as the university has a systems engineering program but wanted to emphasis the larger picture.  After presenting the university presented me with this certificate of appreciation.  I can honestly say that every time I am at this university teaching I become more motivated to follow my passion of being in academia.

Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

Secure Software Development Life Cycle

This article examines the emerging need for software assurance.  As defense contractors continue to develop systems for the Department of Defense (DoD) those systems must meet stringent requirements for deployment.  However as over half of the vulnerabilities are found at the application layer organizations must ensure that proper mechanisms are in place to ensure the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of the code is maintained.

IEGR501: Introduction to Advanced Systems Engineering Second Life Session

These are photos from class on 31 August, 2010.  This was our first session in Second Life in which we discussed development methodologies, systems plannning, proposal process, and more.  Also viewed was a motivational video on the topic of success.  This session was held in Second Life as I was in Huntsville, AL for business.  Second Life allowed the students who were physically in the class at Morgan State University and myself to participate as if I were physically there. 

IEGR501 Intro To Adv Systems Engineering Class Begins Tomorrow at Morgan State University

IEGR501 Intro To Adv Systems Engineering class begins tomorrow at Morgan State University.  This is going to be an exciting class focused only systems engineering.  All coursework and syllabus is finally created.  I am excited about this opportunity teach at such an institution on the graduate level.  I have created an integrated course which has a group project in it as well to include a good amount of literature to review.
