This wiki is for Phil Sisson's and others use in leveraging EMSE 8000 in the preparation and completion of their dissertations and generally checking off all the requirements for eventual graduation.

Starting point (January 5, 2011) was EMSE 216 notes from Fall 2007. This wiki is intended to be a synthesis of the material from Fall 2007 (EMSE 216) and Spring 2011 (** EMSE 8000 **).
