Steven R Glazewski

Steven R. Glazewski serves as an Instructor and Course Director at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) School of Systems and Logistics, located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. He specializes in teaching courses on Air Force architectures for interoperability and enterprise planning using the DoD Architecture Framework (DoDAF), as well as Risk Management principles essential for defense systems development.

With over 23 years of military service in the Air Force (both Active Duty and Reserves) supporting Air Force Materiel Command, plus more than 10 years as a technical contractor for AFMC and Air Force Space Command, Glazewski brings substantial real-world experience to his academic role. His professional background encompasses modeling and simulation, systems analysis, and software acquisition within defense contexts.

Glazewski's educational foundation includes a Master of Science in Systems Analysis from Miami University (1995) and a Bachelor of Science in Physics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (1984), complemented by professional military education at the Air War College (2005) and Air Command and Staff College (2003).

His teaching portfolio features key courses including SYS 118 (Introduction to Life Cycle Risk Management), SYS 183 (Basics of Architecture), SYS 208 (Life Cycle Risk Management Course), and SYS 383 (Architecting in the Air Force), which collectively form critical components of the Air Force Logistics Professional Development Program.

Glazewski's scholarly work demonstrates his practical approach to complex defense challenges, with publications spanning from early research on simulation interoperability to contemporary applications of risk management in defense software engineering. His work bridges theoretical frameworks with operational military requirements.

As an active educator and consultant, Glazewski contributes to AFIT's mission of developing technically proficient military personnel through both structured coursework and tailored consulting services that address specific organizational challenges in logistics, systems engineering, and architecture development.
