ENGN8100 Introduction to Systems Engineering
S16 units8000-level
This course provides an introduction to systems engineering fundamentals, establishing a robust framework for designing complex engineered systems in response to customer needs and expectations. The emphasis of the course is on the core activities of systems engineering, which are requirements analysis; functional analysis and allocation; and design synthesis, test and evaluation. Together, these activities and concerns form what is called the systems engineering process, which provides a comprehensive, life-cycle balanced approach to the design of complex systems that satisfy customer expectations and public acceptability. The course covers lifecycle concerns such as reliability, maintainability and human factors.
