Announcements
Attention entering MS students: Unless you have received a waiver you must either take SYST 500 math foundation course or pass the waiver exam. Waiver exams are two hours long and are offered twice a year on the week preceding the start of the semester. Please click here for further detail
Attention non-degree students: Students taking non-degree graduate studies should note that only 12 credit hours of courses taken in non-degree status will be transferred to a degree program. If you have already taken 12 credit hours of courses as a non-degree student and would like to pursue a graduate degree program, you must reapply for admission to a degree program before enrollng in additional courses.
Plan of Study All students in the BS and MS programs should have a Plan of Study on file. Please call the office at 703-993-1785 if you are not sure if you have one on file. You can print a copy of the Plan of Study form here

The project Dynamic
Airspace Super Sectors (DASS) as High-Density
Highways in the Sky for a New US Air Traffic Management System
presented by Hong Kaing (team members John Alipio, Patricia Castro,
Hong Kaing, Noreen Shahid, Omar Sherzai) won first prize in the track
"Modeling and Simulation."
The project "
Potential Air Traffic Congestion Solution: Slot Allocation
by Auction Method presented by Sean Sprague (team members Ben Howe,
Claudia Richardson, Matthew Rigdon, Stephen Russell, Sean Sprague) tied
for first prize with a USMA team in the track "Process Modeling and
Analysis."
May 7, 2004. For the fourth year in a row, teams of seniors taking the SE senior
design capstone course with Professor George Donohue,
have won first prize awards in National Competitions. This year
two teams
who represented GMU at the
2004 US Military Academy Capstone Conference at West Point both won first Prize Awards.
September 18, 2003. The IFREE Fellowship Award was
presented to Professor Roman A. Polyak. After the ceremony Professor
Polyak
gave a talk titled "Equilibrium and Pricing in a Linear Exchange Model."
July 2, 2003. The GMU team won first place in the robotics competion in
the 2003 International Council on Systems Engineering Symposium. The competition was open to teams from
participating universities. Participants built robots using
Lego® Mindstorms™
robot kits. Teams were graded on cost, configuration
management, and performance in a round robin tournament in which the
objective was to disable the opposing team's robot. The GMU team
took first place and won a $2500 prize. Second place and a $1500
prize went to a team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The other competitors were Catholic University, Rutgers University,
Oakton High School, and The Virginia Polytechnic Institute. The
George Mason University team consisted of Kevin Han, Rudy Ayala, and
Chad Nelson. The GMU team, headed by SEOR Professor Kathy Laskey, was coached by Marty Rothwell, who teaches
Engineering Physics and Engineering Systems at Chantilly Academy, and
who is a graduate student at George Mason University.
June 2003.
Professor Andrew Loerch was elected President elect of the Military
Operations Research Society
.
The Society's
main focus is the application of operations
research in support of current military operations.
The Board of Directors of MORS Board is made up of 30
operations research professionals.
May 9, 2003. For the third year in a row, teams of seniors taking the SE senior
design capstone course with Professor George Donohue,

In the 2002 USMA Capstone Design Conference,
the project "Autonomous Air Traffic Management System" was named the best design project in the
commercial analysis category.
Yet another student team tied for second place
in the systems innovation category of the 2002 National NASA Student
Design Competion, for their project on "Fractional Ownership of Aircraft."
