Course
Description:
The time has radically changed software's role. Before, software's role was
primarily one of support - both for existing business processes and for
delivering information to executive decision makers. The course focuses on the
engineering of complex systems that have a strong software component. For such
systems, software often assumes functions previously allocated to mechanical
and electrical subsystems, changing the way system engineers must think about
classical system issues. The course provides a framework for addressing systems
engineering issues. Topics include the Software Engineering Institute’s
Capability Maturity Model-Integrated (CMMI), deriving and allocating
requirements, system and software architectures, integration, interface
management, configuration management, quality, verification and validation,
reliability, and risk.
