CMSC 618 - System Implementation, Integration and Test

[3]

This is a second-semester, required, graduate course for the systems engineering (SE) track within the M.S.E.E. program that covers the conversion of a design into product elements, integration of these elements into a system and verification that the resulting system performs properly in its operational environment. The course will address: (1) the systems engineer’s role in the product development organization; (2) processes used to manage product teams, technical budgets, baselines and schedules during product development; (3) integration methodologies and techniques for avoiding or resolving interface issues; and (4) types and methods of product testing. The goal of this course is to acquaint the EE graduate student with an understanding of the processes by which complex aerospace, information or other industry systems are built and tested by integrating the efforts of a large product team encompassing many engineering specialties, and the methods used for technical management of this team and the resulting product. Specific processes depend on the development environment and the product customer. This course emphasizes aerospace and information systems.
Prerequisite: Prerequisites: ENEE 660 and ENEE 661 or consent of instructor.
