Mr. Lauffer, with a very extensive background in Logistic Support and Systems Engineering, instructed the class in the process of Systems Engineering as part of the Course 100 curriculum. Mr. Gould, DSI's Senior Software  
Architect and Algorithm Scientist, instructed Courses 110 and 120, while providing the class with insight to eXpress' diagnostic reasoning and robust diagnostic reporting mechanisms.

The goal of this class was to introduce the development of diagnostics and prognostics as they relate to the Systems Engineering process and the critical role of insightful diagnostics. While using eXpress, students learned how design decisions are influenced through trade-off studies and operational system simulation techniques using eXpress. DSI's new Simulation Module, and/or other existing, third-party, diagnostic/prognostic information producing/gathering tools.

In conclusion, DSI would like to extend a very warm "thank you" to Dr. Scott and Alabama A&M for providing us an excellent venue whereby we could successfully bring together both industry and academia together, in a common forum, and share the latest experiences, techniques. value and critical roles of eXpress diagnostics as it is applied to the most complex systems around the world today, and into the future!
