ININ5006_MEDINA ININ 5006 - Systems Engineering and Analysis

Course Description

Introduction to systems engineering or the discipline of designing systems considering the systems lifecycle form conceptualization to disposal. The system development process will be studied beginning with the problem definition/needs or opportunity identification, system feasibility, system's requirements, functional analysis, conceptual design, implementation. Students learn to plan a design for operational feasibility (including reliability, maintainability, usability, and supportability), prepare documentation for development of systems, including the basic theory of system's lifecycle management. They also learn techniques to evaluate the design. The nature of this course is a multi-disciplinary one, as systems can be industrial, mechanical, electronic, organizational. A course project encompassing the step-by-step development process and subsequent documentation of a system is developed.



Course Goals

After completing the course, the student should be able to:

i.Recognize a system and break down its elements.

ii.Differentiate the phases of a system's life-cycle.

iii.Interpret the principles of systems science in everyday design issues.

iv.Explain the steps of the systems engineering process.

v.Identify the needs to be fulfilled by the new system (issue formulation).

vi.Organize, plan, analyze, and relate new system's requirements of any kind in terms of objectives to be satisfied.

vii.Propose potential alternative courses of action, write new system's specifications.

viii.Analyze, evaluate, and propose alternatives based on the operational feasibility of the system.

ix.Formulate and document the new system's specifications.

x.Identify the steps for new system deployment.

xi.Illustrate and present information from v to ix in a coherent and professional manner.
