Learning Outcome:After successfully completing the module, students have extensive knowledge of systems engineering.
Knowledge in detail:
  • Basics and technical terms in the teaching content
  • Change and challenges in the design of the systems
  • Holistic view of a system from various perspectives
  • Systems engineering in companies
The students will have skills in:
  • Confident use of technical terms
  • Classification and use of the approaches in the topic area
  • Reflection on your own experiences in product development
  • Systematic approach to describing systems
Through interactive group exercises, students acquire the following skills:
  • Systems thinking
  • Abstraction
  • Visualization of specific views
  • Building consensus within the group
  • Reflection and transfer
Contents:Cars, household appliances or machines and systems - they are all basic mechanical products that have new, intelligent functions and thus develop into intelligent technical systems. The design of these systems has become an interdisciplinary issue. Systems engineering addresses the systemic and systematic approach to implementing complex systems. It provides the means to view the systems holistically and in an interdisciplinary manner, as well as to orchestrate the specialist disciplines involved. In this module, students are taught the basics of systems engineering. The following topics are addressed:
  • Introduction to the topic of systems engineering
  • Challenges in the design of intelligent technical systems
  • Systems thinking
  • Requirements engineering
  • System architecture
  • Model-Based Systems Engineering
  • Processes and procedures
  • Challenges in introducing systems engineering company-wide
