INDE 6634 - Systems Engineering in the Project Life Cycle

Prerequisite: INDE 6632. This course will provide an in-depth review of the systems engineering processes and their implementation within the context of a project. The fundamental questions of "who will do what", "when" and "how" will be addressed to manage and control the project's technical effort. Representative case studies will be utilized to apply the systems engineering processes throughout the project lifecycle. Project constraints and risks, developing project and systems engineering management plans, systems requirements, preliminary design, critical design and test readiness reviews are among some of the topics to be covered. 3 credits.
