This module presents the introductory section of the course, which discusses the introduction to system design, engineering systems classification & examples, modern system design processes, and functions of the design process.

In this module, we will be discussing system requirements, how to analyze the requirements for the development of systems, the tools for enabling the development, and the originating requirements.

In this module, you will learn how to use IDEF0 to decompose functions in sub functions and then learn to use those subfunctions to create a hierarchical function structure.

In this module, you will gain a better understanding of the physical architecture of the system. The allocation architecture will be covered in more detail and you will learn how to identify the necessary requirements.

This module enables you to review your learning so you can determine your knowledge and understanding of Modules 1 to 4 in the following course; Advanced Diploma in Principles of Engineering System Design.

In this module, you will learn about the Standards which exist for a communication system. The various stages in qualification like verification, validation, and acceptance will also be discussed with the top-level and bottom level cycles or the higher and lower level cycles of qualification.

This module covers the Acceptance Strategies, the Acceptance Stress Methods, and the plan for the Acceptance Test. You will learn how system design principles can be applied to some practical examples.

In this module, you will learn about some of the most commonly used methods for system modeling, namely, Data Modeling, Process Modeling and Behavior Modeling. You will also cover physical system testing through simulations.

In this module, you will learn the important elements in Bondgraph, how to make decisions and how to identify and quantify the conflicting criteria in decision making.

This module enables you to review your learning so you can determine your knowledge and understanding of Modules 6 to 9 in the following course; Principles of Engineering System Design.
