Why are you here, today, for this event?

What do you want to have accomplished by the end of this semester?

  • personal goals

  • professional goals

What do you want to have accoplished by your graduation?

  • major project objective

  • corpus of skills

What do you want to do after graduation?

  • is it related to your plans and actions now?

What are your long-term straegic plans for Valpo Engineering?

 

2. Why SO MUCH PLANNING ??

  • Because do-overs are too expensive.

Contemplate NASA vs. SpaceX

Bell Telephone Laboratories invented the discipline of systems engineering to deal with nation-wide *systems* of interconnected devices, processes, and people — long-distance telephone, video, and data.

Aero/space projects involve cross-discipline work and has a natural need for the concepts developed in S.E.

The REVIEWS

These have common definitions (see NASA S.E. Handbook) and are used to describe where a mission is in its lifecycle. (there are other mission-related terms also)

  • Mission Concept

  • System Requirements

  • System Definition

  • Preliminary Design

  • Critical Design

  • System Integration

  • Operational Readiness

  • Decommissioning Readiness

3. Our Roadmap

Look at outline.
