Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, the student must be able to:

• Describe the most important systems engineering standards and best practices as well as newly emerging approaches
• Analyze the key steps in the systems engineering process starting with stakeholder analysis and ending with transitioning systems to operations
• Structure the important role of humans as beneficiaries, designers, operators and maintainers of aerospace and other systems
• Characterize the limitations of the way that current systems engineering is practiced in terms of dealing with complexity, lifecycle uncertainty and other factors
• Apply some of the fundamental methods and tools of systems engineering to a simple cyber-electro-mechanical system as a stepping stone to more complex and real world projects
