Question: In this assessment, you are required to write a report which critically analyses the conceptual design phase of a systems engineering project (SEP). Projects might include designing a light rail network for a city, more environmentally-conscious buildings or a mine facility. You may not have been involved in the project personally, but some connection with the project would make the analysis more meaningful. Note that Assignment 2 extends this assignment, so bear this in mind when you choose your case study. The report is to analyse the following:
- Needs definition
- Conceptual system danalyses the conceptual design phase of a systems engineering project.esign
- To demonstrate your research skills and understanding, the report should:
- Include relevant theories and models
- Draw upon relevant sources like journals, books or reputable trade publications in analysing the project (at least 5 publications, including a minimum of 2 peer reviewed research articles)
The 2000 (±10%) word length includes only the Body of the Report. It does not include the Preliminary Section (Title Page, Executive Summary and Table of Contents), the reference list or appendices.
