Systems Engineering Courses fall 2015 SESI 6202
Date:
Systems Integration
Course 1: Week 36, Aug 31. – Sept 4.
Course 2: Week 38, Sept 14. – 18.
Target group:
Master students 2. year, course participants
Course description:
This course introduces you to systems integration and its vital role in the
development of complex products by investigating how:
•
to plan and perform integration activities as a central part of systems
engineering, and to develop an integration plan adapting the
development effort to the needs of the project-at-stake.
•
the architectural design of a system and its resulting architecture
description can support the integration of a system into a successful
product. That includes the development of architecture integration
views describing the relevant physical, functional, behavioural and nonfunctional properties for the system-of-interest together with its
corresponding trade-offs and interfaces.
Overall, the course seeks to build a deeper insight into the integrator’s holistic
bottom-up/inside-out mind-set where elements, behaviour and properties of the
system-of-interest gradually are combined into a useful product.
SEFS 6102
Date:
Fundamentals of Systems Engineering
Course 1 Week 36, Aug 31. – Sept 4.
Course 2 Week 39, Sept 21. – 25.
Target group:
Master students 1. year, course participants
Course description:
This course presents the fundamental principles and processes for designing
effective systems, including how to determine customer needs, how to
distinguish between needs and solutions, and how to translate customer
requirements into design specifications. The focus is on designing systems that
not only provide the required capabilities, but that are reliable, supportable and
maintainable throughout their lifecycle. The course concludes with a Systems
Requirements Review (SRR) in which students present their class projects.
Systems Engineering Courses fall 2015 SEMA 6201
System Modelling and Analysis
Date:
Week 37, Sept 7. – 11.
Target group:
Master students 2. or 3 year, course participants
Course description:
The objective of this course is to provide means to model the system, the design
of the system, the usage context and the system life cycle in such a way that
decisions are supported quantitatively.
The course is based on the extended CAFCR framework. The CAFCR model is
a decomposition of an architecture description into five views:
•
The Customers objective view (what does the customer want to achieve)
•
The Application view (how does the customer realize his goals) captures the
needs of the customer.
•
The what and how customers view provide the justification (why) for the
specification and the design.
•
The Functional view describes the what of the product, which includes
(despite its name) the non-functional requirements.
•
The how of the product is described in the Conceptual and Realization
views.
The CAFCR model is extended with the life cycle context with all creation and
product life cycle considerations.

The course will give the student knowledge of the following topics:
Building sustainable and competitive enterprises through organization,
leadership, strategies and operational practices for efficient and effective Newproduct development (NPD);
The basic principles of lean and their translation to functional areas outside
manufacturing;
Lean product development fundamentals, the understanding of value (creation)
and strategies to integrate the production and the knowledge value streams as a
means to mitigate project risks;
Seeing lean product development as a system within the total
enterprise/business system, and understanding the main components and
characteristics of such a framework;
Insight into the most common tools for applying the lean concept to NPD,
including risk mitigation, knowledge management, systematic problem solving
and visual planning and management;
Taking the concept from theory to industrial practice; including research stateof-the-art, implementation strategies and local demonstrator cases (from select
companies).
SEKD 6202 Knowledge Based Development
Date:
Week 38, Sept 14. – 18.
Target group:
Master students 2. or 3 year, course participants
Course description:
Engineering business constitutes a segment, where knowledge is considered as
an important development asset. This sector is facing various challenges ranging
from short time project delivering, cost reduction to environmental issues.
Knowledge Industry management, aims at improving the ability of firms to
execute business, manufacturing and logistic functions in a more effective way.
Systems Engineering Courses fall 2015 Furthermore, managers are increasingly being called upon to help manage the
knowledge in their organization, beyond conventional information processing.
This course explains how organizations, groups, and individuals handle their
knowledge (KW) in all forms, in order to improve organizational performance.
