Professor: Ike Eisenhauer

"Engineering of complex hardware, software systems encompasses quantitative methods to understand vague problem statements, determine what a proposed product/system must do (functionality), generate measurable requirements, decide how to select the most appropriate solution design, integrate the hardware and software subsystems and test the finished product to verify it satisfies the documented requirements. Additional topics that span the entire product life cycle include interface management and control, risk management, tailing of process to meet organizational and project environments, configuration management, test strategies and trade-off studies."

 

 

This class served as a great baseline for the systems engineering program.  It clearly explained what a system really is, and what of many things is incorporated in the engineering of a system.  I also learned what is important to keep in mind when dealing with systems.  There are many aspects to a system, including hardware, software, stakeholders, and so forth.
