EE 300: System Engineering Management (3+0)

(Muhammad Ali Amir)
A practical introduction to systems engineering, design, analysis and management.
It shall provide the concepts, methodologies, models, and tools needed to understand
and implement systems for a total life-cycle approach.
It covers requirement definition, analysis, building of system concept. Concept
exploration, elaboration, and development, concept verification, system level
design, detailed design, at higher level, design at lower/component/material level
system level simulations and design verification, detailed technology simulations
and verification, continuous evolution and improvement in a system, engineering,
production and design change notes, complete design documents, production
engineering documents, shop floor documents and operator worksheets.
Management and control of the whole lifecycle processes, concept of configuration
management, List of forms, manuals, files and reports, methods and tools of
managing & controlling documents, overall management architecture, and
hierarchy.
And finally the concepts of business processes and the role of industrial and systems
engineering in business process modeling. The role of standardization and adopting
international standards for System Engineering processes.
