Conceptual design of systems, considering the arrangements of components and the relations among them, and the holistic attributes of the arrangements. Department of Defense Architectural Framework (DoDAF), Zachman Frameworks, and other frameworks. Top-level strategic design at the beginning of the life-cycle is stressed. Essential elements, decisions, rationales, and behaviors are covered, as well as the necessity for broad engineering knowledge in the creation of architectural representations. Prerequisites: SE 5341 and SE 5342.
Creation of systems engineering processes over a wide variety of complex systems is covered. Analysis and design of system processes through models, methodologies and tools are taught. ANSI/EIA 632 is reviewed. Process as different from product process started in the middle, efficiency, cycle-shortening, process development, integrated process sensing and control, evolution, and drif correction are covered. Prerequisites: SE 5341 and 5342.
Systems Modeling Language (SysML) is taught as a systems- oriented customization of the object-oriented software Unified Modeling Language (UML). This course covers model- based descriptions of systems, and executable simulations of systems as made possible by SysML supporting programs, currently Enterprise Architect. Prerequisites: SE 5341 and 5342.
This course introduces the concepts, algorithm, techniques, and systems of data mining, including (1) an introduction to data analytics, (2) data preprocessing, (3) mining frequent patterns and correlation, (4) classification, (5) cluster analysis, and (6) learning about the software used in data mining and (7) demonstration of how to apply data analytics techniques using python. Keywords: Data Analytics, Industrial Analytics, Industrial data.
