System Implementation, Integration, and Test

University of Maryland
Woodbine, Maryland, USA

Instructor: Mr. Paul Martin

Course Description
This is a required graduate course for the Systems Engineering (SE) track within the MSEE and MSCS programs. This course is a follow-on to ENEE 661, System Architecture and Design, and will cover:
§ the conversion of a design into product elements,
§ the integration of these elements into a system, and
§ the verification that the resulting system performs properly in its operational environment.

This course will follow the product development life cycle as it goes beyond system architecture and design. This means the system will be decomposed into component level elements suitable for software coding and hardware fabrication. These elements are then individually tested and gradually integrated together as the various modules and sub-systems are subjected to unit test, verification and validation. Eventually the full system will go through Operational Test and Evaluation, and finally make it into production and operation.

This course will cover the System Engineer role, activities and processes that are needed during this phase of the product development cycle. Areas of study will include Technical Management Processes (Decision Analysis, Technical Planning, Technical Assessment, Requirements Management, Risk Management, Configuration Management, Technical Data Management and Interface Management), as well as Technical Processes (Decomposition, Sub-system Design Development, Implementation, Integration, Verification, Validation, and Transition).

*One unique aspect to this course is the use of many guest lecturers, who are senior systems engineers from area companies and agencies. Their extensive practical experience, knowledge and perspectives will help the student appreciate the various and multi-faceted dimensions to the system engineering discipline.

The goal of the course is to provide practical and relevant tools and techniques to be used by the student within industry and DoD environments. This course emphasizes the Integrated Defense Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Life Cycle Management Framework.

Texts
Required: Martin, James N., Systems engineering guidebook: a process for developing systems and products, 1997;
Optional: Sage & Rouse, Handbook of Systems Engineering and Management, 1999,

Other references will be made available on-line within the course?s Blackboard web-site:
§ INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook, Version 3, June 2006, INCOSE-TP-2003-002-03
§ IEEE Standard 1220 - 2005 for Application and Management of the Systems Engineering Process
§ ANSI/EIA-632: Processes for Engineering a System
§ ISO/IEC 15288:2002 Systems Engineering - System Life Cycle Processes

Team Project
This course will continue ENEE 661?s project dealing with Precision Landing Capabilities (PLC) for the Mordant Civil Aviation Authority where they opted to go with an older system which has been around since the 1980s, the Microwave Landing System (MLS). The students will form into teams and give several short presentations dealing with Sub-system requirements and allocation; Sub-system component risk analysis; Sub-system component trade study and analysis and Technical Performance Measures and Test. These presentations will be presented by only one member of the team with each team member presenting at least once. One class near the end of the semester will be dedicated to a full System Critical Design Review where the whole team will present. To document the engineering artifacts the teams will either use I-Logix?s modeling tool Rhapsody or Vitech?s CORE. Each member is required to provide a peer-level performance appraisal for the other team members.

Homework
Will be assigned weekly and will be due the following week unless otherwise noted. A hard copy of your homework MUST be handed in at the beginning of next class. Softcopies can be e mailed but only if you are not in class the week it?s due. Late Homework will be docked 10% for each day late. Homework that is more than one week late will NOT be accepted.

Grading: Grades will be determined from the following weights: Class Participation: 5%, HW - 35%; Midterm Exam- 20%; Final Exam - 20% ; Team Project ? 20%**
** The Team Project grade will split between (1) your individual contributions (10%) ? which includes your presentation ability, providing appraisals for team mates and the appraisals you receive from team mates ? and (2) the overall team performance (10%)
