About this course
Introduces systems engineering with an emphasis on MBSE using SysML, reinforced by exercises and breakout projects on electric and automated vehicle systems. Topics include the V model and life cycle phases, the four pillars of SysML (structure, behavior, requirements and parameters), architecture of complex systems, the V model with AIAG-VDA FMEA and DVP&R, the roles of system architect and safety manager, and the use of systems engineering in ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434 and ISO/PAS 21448. Exercises model an anti-lock braking system and an automated-vehicle radar subsystem, first by hand and then in the open-source Modelio tool.
