What is MCEN4017 about?

This unit provides students with a foundation of knowledge and skills necessary to use model-based systems engineering (MBSE) to support and manage systems engineering design activities, process interfaces and the whole design process. Students will learn concepts of modelling, systems thinking, and systems engineering within the framework of the engineering project life cycle. Emphasis is placed on identification of stakeholders needs, project management and speciality engineering supports, extending through concept development, requirement development, functional analysis and formulations (functional, physical and logical architectures), preliminary design (low-level requirement allocation to define system/subsystem configuration), detailed design (design synthesis, implementation), integration, verification, validation, operation, support, phase-out and disposal. Three pillars of MBSE: language (System Modelling Language (SysML)), Tool (software) and Approach (process to build the model) and how to use each to meet objectives during the systems engineering process design will be introduced with a focus on traceability and cross-cutting relationships. Students will be given an opportunity to develop practical skills in systems engineering through laboratories and projects.
