Aviation and space systems are complex products comprised of many subsystems which must meet demanding customer and operational lifecycle value requirements. Traditional systems engineering approaches to air and space systems design have been upended by two trends – increasing complexity and accelerating delivery timelines. Up-to-date methods to be applied in the current and future industry, e.g. aerospace and defence industry.
Objectives: The main educational goal of the course is to acquire knowledge and skills in the field of modern methods and computer tools supporting the process of conceptual and initial design of complex aviation and space systems. Digital mission engineering and model-based systems engineering (MBSE) are essential to these new challenges, enabling a system integrator to redirect work from physical systems to their logical representations. Digitization of the design processes of aviation and space systems integrated with missions requires the use of advanced techniques and computational tools. An additional purpose is to show the strong interdependence between design tools and design processes. One of the course specific objectives is to explain the role of each tool at each product development phase.
Pre-requisites: General knowledge about aviation technologies
