The aims of this module are to give students:

• Practical knowledge of verification and validation (V&V) for testing and acceptance of systems from a systems and model-based viewpoint.
• Understanding of the relation between design and V&V with the objective of concurrent V&V and design of robust systems.
• Knowledge of and practice with systems modelling languages, methods, and commercially available tools.
• An introduction to software testing.

Students will learn V&V procedures and tests aligned to ISO/IEC 15288 how to use V&V to influence system design and analysis.

The aim of this module is to provide students with a systematic understanding of the range of challenges associated with complex engineering projects undertaken by enterprises, and the techniques applied to overcome them. This perspective presented is that of a Chief Engineer and the module gives a 21st century view of what the role of Chief Engineer entails.

This module aims to develop the students' expertise in the planning and execution of an extensive systems project working as a member of a team. Its purpose is to consolidate knowledge and skills developed in the Systems Engineering MSc programme through application of systems engineering tools and techniques in an integrated fashion within a project team.

The aims of this module are:

• To give students an opportunity to conduct a research and/or development project on a topic of relevance to their specific programme of study.
• To provide students with the key skills and experience needed to plan, manage and deliver a complex extended project.
• To prepare students for future employment and professional practice in a relevant engineering sector at an advanced technical or managerial level.

The aims of this module are to give students:

• Practical knowledge of design and requirements engineering from a systems and model-based viewpoint.
• An understanding of the relation between system design, system architecture, and verification and validation (V&V).
• Knowledge of and practice with systems modelling languages, methods, and commercially available tools.
• An introduction to design principles and methodologies in support of systems design.

The students will learn a system design process aligned to ISO/IEC 15288 and how to model a system and use models for system design and analysis.

The aim of this module is to provide students with a systematic understanding of the role of modelling, simulation and visualisation in engineering, systems design, and manufacturing, and to equip them with the skills to create, integrate, and interpret models for practical problems.

This module aims to equip students with a robust understanding and hands-on experience of how digital and data engineering principles can transform engineering processes across the entire systems engineering lifecycle - from requirements and concept through design, development, verification, operation, and end-of-life.

Students will develop an appreciation of the organisational, cultural, and strategic dimensions of digital transformation, understanding how robust governance and data-driven practices underpin responsible engineering outcomes, particularly in data-intensive systems.
