Credit points: 15
Subject outline
Systems Engineering defines an interdisciplinary approach to the realisation of complex engineering systems. It has a strong focus on defining customer needs and requirements,documentation, design synthesis, risk analysis, system testing and verification, while always considering the complete problem. Systems Engineering addresses both the technical and business requirements with the goal of producing a quality product meeting the user's needs. In this subject students will investigate a range of systems engineering principles and development methodologies with a focus on how engineering design and developments are organised and conducted in industry. Students will be exposed to diverse examples which may include: automation; electro-mechanical systems; process design and communications. In addition students will perform document automation tasks through macro creation.Engineers Australia Stage 1 competencies covered in this subject are: 1.2, 1.5, 1.6, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 (see intended learning outcomes for details).

Graduate capabilities & intended learning outcomes
01. Distinguish and apply appropriate tools or methodologies to solve systems engineering problems across a variety of different domains.
- Activities:
- Knowledge is gained on the different methodologies through lectures and tutorials and is then applied in workshops and group work.
02. Differentiate and apply systems engineering methodology to different phases within the system engineering life cycle.
- Activities:
- Knowledge is gained on the different methodologies through lectures and tutorials and is then applied in workshops and group work.
03. Explain the concept, benefits and process of adopting a systems engineering approach to engineering problems.
- Activities:
- Knowledge is gained in the fundamental theory and methodologies of systems engineering in lectures and online tutorials.
04. Create clear professional documentation implementing systems engineering methodologies.
- Activities:
- Lectures and online tutorials provide students with the methodologies and documentation requirements which are practiced further in workshops and in group work.
05. Use a team based approach to solve systems engineering problems.
- Activities:
- Students use methodologies discussed in lectures to conduct their systems engineering project and produce their presentation and team report
