SYEN 7312 - Systems Architecture and Design

Three hours lecture. Three credit hours.

This course introduces the process of systems architecting and the design for operational feasibility in the context of systems engineering design process. Systems architecture topics include the functional, physical, operational, and interface architectures and their correlation with the system design process, as well as graphical modeling techniques to develop these types of architectures. Examples of standardized architecture frameworks used in practice are also presented. The design for operational feasibility includes quantitative and qualitative aspects in reliability, maintainability, productibility, supportability, disposability and affordability as they relate to the system engineering life-cycle design process.

Prerequisites: SYEN 7311 or consent of the instructor.
