Systems Engineering Overview (3) |
An introduction to systems engineering using examples of manufacturing, information, and mechanical systems that involve the integration of different technologies. Emphasis is on the role of the systems engineer. Systems thinking principles and complex systems and system-of-systems theory are reviewed. Discussion covers various approaches to system dynamics modeling. An overview of the system life cycle through conception, design and development, integration and testing, and deployment and support is provided. |

Model-Based Systems Engineering (3) |
Prerequisite: SYSE 610. An introduction to formal system modeling and simulation methods using software-based approaches, which are replacing more traditional document-based descriptive modeling methods. Discussion covers the trend in industry toward standardized modeling techniques using software, especially SysML (Systems Modeling Language) computer packages, allowing greater consistency in system model representations between technologies, across industries, and even across language barriers. Topics include ways that computers can represent system models in detail and provide complex system simulations with minimum effort using several different system modeling and simulation software platforms. The objective is to be able to determine when and how model-based systems engineering (MBSE) approaches are useful, which tools to use, and which data to use as input to the MBSE tools and how to use the results from the tools in decision making. |
