Course Description:

Life cycle of systems is addressed; generation and analysis of life cycle requirements; development of functional, physical, and operational architectures for the allocation and derivation of component-level requirements for the purpose of specification production; examination of interfaces and development of interface architectures. Software tools are introduced and used for portions of the systems engineering cycle.� �This class is hands-on.�

Project Guidance

SYST 520 � System Design and Integration

Spring 2002

Due to the large number of students in this section, we are going to break into groups of 3 people.� Each group will be responsible for the design of a system of their choice.�� The system designs will use CORE and Rational Rose to provide both a Structured Analysis View as well as an Object Oriented View of the Design.� Both software packages will be provided. The project should follow good systems engineering process to include a conceptual description of the system, a requirements statement and analysis as well as the actual design.� Actual implementation of the system is not required.�

Groups will be responsible for one informal and two formal presentations as well as the final deliverable report.�� Due to the size of the class, each presentation will be short, so the presentations need to be extremely focused.� The informal presentation of topics will be approximately 5 minutes.� The formal presentation of topics will be 15 minutes.� Plan on 12 minutes of content with 3 minutes for questions.� Providing the instructor with backup slides is encouraged as appropriate. For the formal presentations, slides will be expected or some viable substitute.� Hard copy will be provided to the instructor; student copies are optional.� The first presentation will discuss progress to date, discuss issues and indicate projected completion.� The final presentation will discuss requirements and how the design meets the requirements, as well as other relevant issues.� The final report will present the design, document how the requirements are met by the design as well as provide other relevant information such as a system qualification strategy.
