STE-3609 Systems Engineering - 10 ECTS
Admission requirements
A relevant undergraduate bachelor in engineering, primarily within electronics or space technology.
In addition, the following requirements must be met:
- minimum 25 credits in mathematics (equivalent to Mathematical Methods 1, 2 og 3), 5 credits in statistics and 7,5 ects i physics on a higher level is required.
Application code: 9371
Course content
The purpose of this course is to give the student an overview of the European space project standards including The European Cooperation for Space Standardization (ECSS) and The Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) preparing them for participating in industrious European space projects. While dealing with large, complex projects system engineering focuses on how these projects should be designed and managed, including identifying design drivers, trade-off studies, budgets and the system engineering process. Also, the design methodology will be discussed with a special focus on concurrent design.Objectives of the course
Knowledge and understanding:
路 The student shall have the knowledge and understanding on how to initiate and run industrial space projects in all sizes with specific focus on the system engineering discipline.
路 The topic is based on ECSS (European space standards) and gives an introduction on how standards are used throughout the project lifetime.
Skills:
路 The student must be able to define a space mission, engineer mission requirements from the mission statement and evolve them into lower level requirements.
路 He shall be able to lead or participate in any systems engineering group of a space project and control applicable documentation required by the project legal contract.
路 He shall also be able to lead or participate in any group related to a subsystem design.
General Competence:
路 The candidate will be able to demonstrate understanding of central, associated principles and concepts within Spacecraft Systems Engineering.
