SYSE 567 - Systems Engineering Architecture

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

Prerequisite

Dr. Daniel Herber is an Assistant Professor in the Systems Engineering Department at Colorado State University. His research interests are in the areas of computational design, design optimization, digital engineering, model-based systems engineering, system architecture synthesis, and combined physical and control system design (control co-design) concentrated around the development of novel theory and tools for integrated design methods conducive to emerging and dynamic engineering systems. His work has involved several engineering application domains, including the design of wind/wave/hydrokinetic energy systems, energy storage/generation, aero-actuation systems, thermal management networks for aircraft, and more, and continues to expand. His projects are frequently collaborative and have involved the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Air Force Research Laboratory, Woodward, Deere & Company, and the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Dr. Herber studied at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, earning his B.S. in General Engineering in 2011 and his M.S. and Ph.D. in Systems and Entrepreneurial Engineering in 2014 and 2017, respectively. He held a postdoctoral position (2018-2019) with the NSF Engineering Research Center for Power Optimization for Electro-Thermal Systems (POETS).
