2. Systems Engineering
authored by Dr. Zhu
Learning Objectives
- Associate how the process of systems engineering will relate to your own process throughout the semester, in program phases, and schedule milestones
- Analyze how the design drivers become mission requirements to system requirements to subsystem requirements to component requirements
- Relate different project management tools to the systems engineering process
- Scheme how you could design a mission around the Artemis CubeSat Kit
