16.842 Fundamentals of Systems Engineering

16.842 Fundamentals of Systems Engineering (Fall 2015, MIT OCW). Instructor: Professor Olivier de Weck. General introduction to systems engineering using both the classical V-model and the new Meta approach. Topics include stakeholder analysis, requirements definition, system architecture and concept generation, trade-space exploration and concept selection, design definition and optimization, system integration and interface management, system safety, verification and validation, and commissioning and operations. Discusses the trade-offs between performance, lifecycle cost and system operability. Readings based on systems engineering standards and papers. Students apply the concepts of systems engineering to a cyber-electro-mechanical system, which is subsequently entered into a design competition. (from ocw.mit.edu)
