Select one of the options below:
Introduction to formal system architecture methods using the Systems Modeling Language (SysML) and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) using the Model-Based System Architecture Process (MBSAP) with detailed examples.
Course Objectives:
Topics include the operational, logical/functional, and physical viewpoints that establish the fundamental MBSAP methodology, a summary of architecting paradigms and tools, and specialized discussions on service-oriented, real-time, enterprise, network, secure, and reference architectures.
Students successfully completing this course will be able to:
• Describe the key principles of formal system architecture modeling and the role of a system architect
• Describe the characteristics and challenges of specific architecture system categories
• Understand and create SysML diagrams for modeling system architecture
• Integrate the methodology into an architecture project based on a system or enterprise of their choice
Foundations of Systems Engineering; This prerequisite may be waived by the instructor for students with practical Systems Engineering experience.; Credit not allowed for both SYSE 567 and ENGR 567. Credit not allowed for both SYSE 567 and ECE 567
Dr. Daniel R. Herber is an Associate Professor in the Department of Systems Engineering at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO, USA. His research interests and projects have been in design optimization, model-based systems engineering, system architecture, digital engineering, dynamics and control, and combined physical and control system design (control co-design), frequently collaborating with academia, industry, and government laboratories. His work has involved several application domains, including energy, aerospace, defense, and software systems. He teaches courses in model-based systems engineering, system architecture, controls, and optimization. He is a member of INCOSE, ASME, and AIAA. He studied at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, earning his B.S. (2011) in General Engineering and his M.S. (2014) and Ph.D. (2017) in Systems and Entrepreneurial Engineering. He held a postdoctoral position (2018-2019) with the NSF ERC for Power Optimization for Electro-Thermal Systems (POETS). Learn more at https://www.engr.colostate.edu/~drherber/people#director
