No participant requirement

Professional competences
The students:

• Designing and maintaining complex artefacts are a mayor challenge of engineering for decades. System Engineering is an approach to handle this complexity.
• are aware of the challenges of complexity by completing this module
• know how systems engineering can address these while designing complex but reliable, dependable and safe products. A major cornerstone is to know the concept of a system and to describe it using appropriate modelling techniques. The student
• starts think in systems as an aggregation of components systems that may again be a component of an aggregated system up to the concepts of systems of systems. They
• are able to understand the effects of single components attributes on the system as a hole including humans a elements of complex systems.

Methodological competences:
The students:

• are able to apply system-engineering methodologies and methods to understand requirements, to design, implement and test systems.

Professional competences
The students:

• usage of engineering tools will provide practical experience.

Social competences
The students:

• are aware of the role complex systems play in our society and got and understanding of complexity management as a Self-competences:s in engineering.

The module consists of a lecture and an exercise part: Lecture: Introduction to the concepts of systems, methodologies and methods of systems engineering. As special emphasis is put on the usage of SYSML as a modelling approach. Exercises: Own design experiences by using engineering methods and tools.
