Assignment Project

Pick a reasonably complex system to use as your semester project. It can be any one of the examples or a system that you chose.

Examples include:

• Radar systems - ground based, air bases or space based
• Drones or robots - underwater, on land or airborne for surveillance
• Lighter than air balloons for surveillance
• Satellites - any mission
• Power or fuel plants
• A completely automated house
• Automated Information Exchange System - provides commuters a safe and streamlined post-accident process for drivers and insurers
• Building a home
• Portable Display System for a complex system
• Vehicle Fog Elimination System
• Outdoor Sound Submersion system
• Home Theatre Design
• Uninterrupted Power Supply Facility Design
• Implementation of a low cost satellite system for Search and Rescue, surveillance, etc
• Automotive Traction Control System
• All in one bike system
• Building a new All-Terrain Vehicle system
• All electric Trail Bike system
• Wireless workout device

Once your system is approved, you will:

1. Write an acceptable mission statement for your system. Use the Firesat example shown in class. You may not proceed to step 2 until I approve your statement.

2. Write 10 system performance requirements

3. Write 5 subsystem performance requirements for each of 2 subsystems

4. Create a functional block diagram for your system (use only verbs)

5. Create level 3 product Work Breakdown Structure.

6. Create a risk matrix for your top 5 technical system risks. Show and explain how these risks will be mitigated. Cost and schedule are not to be used as risks

7. Create a technical performance measure graph for your highest technical risk and explain the graphic.

8. Explain in bullet form how you will verify the system (Is it built to requirements)

9. Explain in bullet form how you will validate system performance (Customer Acceptance)

10. Describe in detail 2 trade studies that you would conduct to reach a final decision on your system architecture.

11. Create a top level system architecture drawing of you system. Include all subsystems.

Your final product will be a minimum of a 25-page power point presentation that contains at least all of the above assignments. See the Table of Contents example below

The course schedule will indicate the dates on which each assignment is due.
