40.014 Engineering Systems Architecture

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.
