Dr. John M. "Mike" Borky is Professor of Systems Engineering at Colorado State University. He has nearly 50 years experience in Aerospace and Defense, including research, system and technology development, and operations. An expert in systems architecture and engineering with emphasis on information- and software-intensive systems and enterprises, he is the developer of the Model-Based System Architecture Process (MBSAP) and has applied Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE) using this methodology to a wide range of systems. He recently completed five years as a Visiting Professor of Aerospace Engineering at UCLA, where he developed and taught the core course on System Architecture in the online Master of Science in System Engineering program.
Dr. Thomas H. Bradley is Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering & Systems at Colorado State University. He is associated with the Systems and Robotics, Motorsports Engineering and Engines and Energy Conversion Laboratories at CSU. Primary research interests include design of automotive, aerospace and energy systems, integrated controls and design optimization, and the validation of engineering design methods.
