Description	This module will introduce engineering students to the emerging field of multidisciplinary system and software engineering. Students will attain knowledge of the following skills: Identify Requirements Needs (Functional, Performance, and Quality) Create systems/software architectures that integrate together. Define rules and Performance for external and internal interfaces Define non-functional requirements Define and execute overall system verification and validation Manage system changes Manage system risks Manage system/software processes Perform systems vs. software trade-offs. Develop/Derive/Allocate Detailed Low-Level Requirements Define formal coding methods Define Software Processes, Methodologies and Tools Define Reuse vs New Development Tradeoff criteria Customer Interfaces Defining Software Quality Attributes Determine coding Methodology Define Software Verification and Validation Methodology Software Engineering Management Application of Computational Analysis and Thinking .
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: ꮧSelect and apply a range of multidisciplinary systems and software engineering processes to produce requirements and architectures for products and systems. Demonstrate competences in design abstraction employing standardised viewpoints, and implementation methods employing programming languages that support rapid prototyping. Evaluate and improve systems by methodological application of verification and validation techniques.
