Introduction: Education vs. Training
6 November 28, 2012
Education vs. Training: Education emphasizes principles first and
focuses on building the mind. Training emphasizes application and the
building of skills
Training: Required for every job Typically not offered in higher education Lack of training results in lost productivity
9 November 28, 2012
There is difficulty in developing quality training, delivering it efficiently and
implementing reliable feedback mechanisms.

Ph.D. from Old Dominion University
Major: Engineering Management
M.S. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Majors: Materials Engineering Naval Architecture Marine Engineering
B.S. from Rutgers UniversityMajor: Ceramic Engineering
Case Study: Dr. Kevin Adams
11 November 28, 2012
National Centers for Systems of Systems Engineering
Mission: “Develop and disseminate theory, methodologies, and technologies to effectively respond to system of systems problems.
Case Study: NCSOSE
12 November 28, 2012
A system is an interrelated group of components with a common goal (system of systems = a group of systems)

Lord Customer
“One Customer To Rule Them All”
Request: Building a system of rings
NCSOSE researches & determines learning objectives
Topics are hand picked from Access database or created if not in existence
Each topic is combined into a course notebook and printed for delivery to the client
Case Study: Current Method
15 November 28, 2012
Case Study: Current Method
Single Point of Failure Entire system is run by Dr. Adams, would
take a long to teach new employee system
Time Consuming Determining learning objectives to meet
customer request Selecting/Creating topics that cover
learning objectives Data is not easily searchable Analyzing feedback from clients and
students
16 November 28, 2012
Our Solution: TRAIN Eliminates Dr. Adams as the single point
of failure Identifies and stores relationships
between learning objectives and assists in topic selection/creation
Organize and present optimal courses based on customer request
Powerful search based on keyword with built in ranking system
Intelligently analyzes feedback to suggest improvements for future courses
17 November 28, 2012
CAN: Eliminate the single
point of failure Provide ranking for
training elements Give an appropriate
list of relevant and related topics
Suggest improvements for current and future courses
CAN NOT: Teach the
materials for you Read the
customers mind Replace a trainer
Our Solution: TRAIN
19 November 28, 2012
Our Solution: The Benefits TRAIN eliminates the single point of
failure It saves time and consistently produces
high quality courses Improves ROI for clients Provides feedback and improvement

Risk Matrix
42 November 14, 2012
Risk Impact/Probability Mitigation
C1 – Ease of useIf the product is too difficult to work with, it will not be useful to the customer
Impact 4Probability 1
The goal of this software is to make training module creation easier. We will design it with a user interface that is intuitive and easy to understand
C2 – AccessibilityFor maximum functionality, the product needs to be remotely accessible
Impact 3Probability 1
We must design the product with web access in mind
Customer Risk
43 November 14, 2012
Risk Impact/Probability Mitigation
C3 – ExtensibilityThe database may need to include different types of files in the future
Impact 3Probability 1
We must keep the database flexible enough for other types of files
C4 - FeedbackCustomers may not give adequate feedback to aid in improvements
Impact 1Probability 3
Our feedback mechanism must be simple to understand and use, to encourage its use
Customer Risk
44 November 14, 2012
Risk Impact/Probability Mitigation
T1 – SecurityThe customer's proprietary information needs to stay private
Impact 4Probability 2
We must design the product with good security practices in mind
T2 – CompatibilityThe product must be fully compatible with the customer's other software
Impact 5Probability 1
We must test to ensure compatibility with all necessary software
Technical Risk

Conclusion TRAIN eliminates the single point of
failure Consistently produces high quality
training, but it cannot replace any trainer
TRAIN saves time, delivers training efficiently and provides and implements reliable feedback
