SYS 9045 Systems Engineering Architecture Design On Demand Micro-Course

Topic Description: Systems Engineering Architecture Design

Systems Engineering architecture design is a blend of art and science as we translate stakeholder operational concepts into a system solution.  We begin with the black (opaque) box representation of the system to visualize it in use and define its scope and context.  We transform that black box into a white (glass) box where we define the structure and behavior inside the system as functional, physical, and allocated architectures.  In this micro-course, we will explore the design activities to make this transformation.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this micro-course, students will be able to:

• Define activities to evolve the architecture design
• Identify techniques to define the architecture scope in a target context
• Identify techniques to create a functional architecture
• Identify techniques to create a physical architecture
• Identify techniques to develop allocated architectures for implementation

This micro-course addresses the following INCOSE learning objectives:

• Define awareness level concepts of architecture definition

This Micro-Course is apart of the Systems Architecture Digital Badge track.
