Course Description: Introduction to organized
multidisciplinary approach to designing and developing systems. Concepts,
principles, and practice of systems engineering as applied to large
integrated systems. Life-cycle costing, scheduling, risk management,
functional analysis, conceptual and detail design, test, and evaluation
and production.
Course Objectives: The main objective of the course is
to gain an understanding of the systems engineering design process. In
addition, students will become familiar with systems engineering tools.
Finally, the students will learn how to manage the systems engineering
design process.
