Systems Hardware/Software Integration

EE-40060

Learn the application of systems engineering processes to systems

incorporating software and hardware. Through a class project, the development of requirements from a problem statement and the allocation of these requirements to hardware and software along with the development of both decomposed and derived requirements will be experienced.

Course Highlights:

  • Familiarity with various modeling techniques
  • Requirements modifications and how they affect the development process
  • Implement trade offs from requirements, Quality Functional Description (House of Quality)
  • Selecting appropriate hardware/software solutions
  • Practical case studies demonstrating integration issues
  • Importance of utilizing practical process templates and design checklists
  • CMM-I for measuring the maturity of your activity
  • Development of detail requirements and metrics

Course Learning Outcomes:

  • Ability to rapidly recognize impact of requirement changes
  • Hardware and Software metrics, including testing specifications
  • Hardware and Software life cycles
  • Impact of security and protection
  • Software process improvement
  • Software planning and estimating
  • Software and Hardware reuse

Course Typically Offered: Online in Winter and Summer quarters.

Prerequisite: N/A

Next Step: After completing this course, consider taking other course in the Systems Engineering certificate program to continue learning.
