Systems Integration and Development

Course #SE4151

Est.imated Completion Time: 3 months

Overview

This course provides the student with an understanding of the context and framework for planning and carrying out integration and development, including emergent behavior, manufacturing, and production of complex systems. Topics covered include systems and SoS integration and production with consideration of multiple suitability aspects, including availability, reliability, maintainability, embedded software, human factors, producibility, interoperability, supportability, emergent behavior, life cycle cost, schedule, and performance. Types of systems considered are large-scale spanning applications from purely technical to socio-technical. Students complete a term project in integration using a notional or existing system as a case study.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

Define systems integration, including its purpose and scope and the role of the systems engineer throughout a system’s lifecycle.
Apply the theories of emergence, SoS and FoS.
Identify and manage external and internal interfaces (functional and physical) in support of integration; generate an interface control document populated with data from an MBSE environment.
Integrate requirements for suitability, supportability and producibility in design solutions.
Design appropriate system evaluation strategies in support of integration.
Demonstrate integration of existing, modified, or new production & delivery and support & infrastructure elements.
