SYE602 Advanced System Design
Lead Faculty: Dr. Shekar Viswanathan
Course Description
Advanced system design concepts and details the methodologies of design for operational feasibility: system reliability, maintainability, usability (human
factors), supportability (serviceability), producibility and disposability, and affordability (life-cycle costing). The course also provides an introduction to
systems engineering management, including planning, organization, and program control and evaluation.
Learning Outcomes
- Utilize design for X, design-dependent parameters, during the design of complex systems: reliability, maintainability, usability (human factors), supportability (serviceability), producibility and disposability, and affordability (life-cycle costing).
- For each design parameter:
Develop and utilize metrics of each, Plan for system life cycle consideration of each,
Utilize analysis methods of each,
Utilize test and evaluation methods of each.
- Develop a systems engineering management plan (SEMP).
- Develop a statement of work (SOW).
- Define various organizational structures that create proper systems engineering environments.
- Develop a program management plan to manage review and reporting requirements and risk issues.
