| Course Description |
Introduction to the systems thinking process, and the fundamental considerations associated with the engineering of large-scale systems, or systems engineering. These include systems modelling and design, system development process, needs analysis, concept exploration, concept definition, engineering design, integration and evaluation, and systems engineering management. The course provides students with a disciplined approach for identifying a customer or stakeholder need and translating that need into a complete set of requirements or specifications for a system that meets the need. The course helps students understand how to think through the choices at each step of the process. What decisions have to be made? What factors should be considered in making them? It is the answers to these questions that make for good systems engineering, not just adherence to a standard process. The primary object of this course is to achieve a strong foundation in systems engineering principles and processes.
