ESMA 601 System Architecture
Systems architecting is one of the first stages in the product design and development process in which the system's or the product's concept is generated. These early stage decisions are fundamental to the success of the product or system because they impact all of the detailed design decisions made later on. They are also challenging because the system architect must manage ambiguity, complexity, and project management all prior to giving a formal quantitative basis to the new concept. This course will give students the tools to analyze and conceive system architectures systematically in small group environments. The course will address system form, function, and concept and conclude with special topics in systems architecting.
