Personal Overview

Dr. Aldo Fabregas is an Assistant Professor in the Systems Engineering program of the Computer Engineering and Sciences Department at the Florida Institute of Technology. He usually teaches Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Requirements Engineering, System Modeling and Analysis, and Decisions & Risk Analysis. In addition to his academic roles, Dr. Fabregas has led the development and deployment of simulation-based decision support systems for transportation and manufacturing applications. His areas of interest involve digital thread for manufacturing, intelligent transportation systems, and selected applications on energy systems modeling. He has conducted sponsored research projects from the Florida Department of Transportation, the Florida Department of Consumer Affairs, the International Development Bank, and Aerospace Companies on the Space Coast. Before joining Florida Tech, Dr. Fabregas worked as Research Associate at the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) at the University of South Florida where he worked on Intelligent Transportation Systems and Transportation Analytics. Dr. Fabregas is an INCOSE Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP) and  OMG systems modeling professional (OCSMP). He is a regular contributor to the IEEE Systems Engineering and the Transportation Research Board Conferences as an author or reviewer.
