Course content

The course in systems engineering will focus on different methodologies that provide the students with tools for the analysis, design, and operation of complex systems. Core issues such as the systems engineering process, breakdown and aggregation of needs and requirements, stakeholder identification, definition of efficiency measures, life cycle analyses, and trade-off analyses will be assessed. Using Systems Engineering as a Research methodology will be taught and applied to the student project and final report.

Learning outcome

Knowledge: The course will give the students a basic knowledge of the systems theory and methodologies often applied by systems engineers. Skills: The objective of the course is to provide PhD students with efficient tools that enable them to handle and analyse complex systems with the purpose of designing and implementing such systems. General competence: Students will gain the background needed to conduct Research in a variety of domains.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, seminars and project work.

Further on evaluation

Overall grade assessment is the basis for the grade in the course. The overall assessment includes writing a paper counting 80 % and an oral exam counting 20 %. The results for overall assessment are graded passed or not passed. Passed requires at least 70 % score in total for the overall assessment. For a re-take of an examination, all assessments during the course must be re-taken.
