40.014 Engineering Systems Architecture
This course is no longer offered after 2024.
This course aims to ready students for leadership roles in system engineering. The curriculum covers topics in system engineering and multi-objective optimization. Theoretical concepts will be reinforced with case studies and practical applications to provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter.
Learning objectives
On completion of this course, students should be able to:
- Identify stakeholders and technical requirements.
- Understand System Architecture, and generate alternative design solution and apply decision analysis.
- Knowledge the importance of product integration, interface management, verification, and validation for engineering systems.
- Understand the basic of Model-Based System Engineering and System Modeling Language.
- Describe Parto Frontier and explain concepts, terminology, and multi-objective optimisation.
Measurable outcomes
- Identify stakeholder expectations and define proper requirements.
- Create design solutions and perform decision analysis to determine the best solution.
- Formulate a multi-objective linear program and compute and display a Pareto efficient frontier.
- Describe the overall lifecycle of an engineering system.
