Our on-demand micro-course in Systems Engineering Architecture Basics focuses on how systems architecture is defined through terminology, methods & frameworks. 

Systems architecture transforms a stakeholder concept into a solution ready for hardware and software design.  The architecture effort understands the system use, identifies constraints, and develops work products that depict an evolving architecture with alternatives.  In this micro-course, the art and science of systems architecture is defined including terminology, methods, and frameworks.

Learning Objectives:

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

• • Define the concepts of architecture definition
  • Identify elements and uses of architecture 
  • Identify common architecture frameworks
  • Define how architectural drivers and quality attributes influence architecture design
  • Identify techniques to develop and evaluate architectures
  • Define an approach to develop physical and logical architectures
  • Identify the difference between system and enterprise architectures

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