ENEE 661 - System Architecture and Design

[3]

This is a required graduate course for the systems engineering (SE) track within the MSEE program. The course content includes both theoretical and practical considerations for developing of a system architecture and hardware and software system design within the overall systems engineering process. Major topics include development of an operational concept, functional decomposition, top-down vs. bottom-up techniques, requirements allocation and partitioning, interface definition, inclusion of integrity, reliability and maintainability within the design concept, validation and verification. The use of technical performance budgeting, quality function deployment techniques and statistical and linear models in the design process will be discussed. Detailed examples of these techniques will be used to illustrate the various techniques.
Prerequisite: Prerequisite: B.S. degree in EE or related field. ENEE 660 - Systems Engineering Principles may be taken concurrently.
