Systems Engineering Methodology (SEM) of the State Unified Information Technology Environment (SUITE) STATE OF MICHIGAN SYSTEMS ENGINEERING METHODOLOGY The Systems Engineering Methodology (SEM) of the State Unified Information Technology Environment (SUITE) Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget www.michigan.gov/SUITE October 2014 Version 1.6 Preface PREFACE The initial development of the State of Michigan Systems Engineering Methodology (SEM) was published in April 2007, and was performed as part of a continuing effort to improve the quality, performance, and productivity of State of Michigan information systems. Development of the SEM was governed by the Michigan State Unified Information Technology Environment (SUITE) initiative. The purpose of SUITE is to standardize methodologies, procedures, training, and tools for project management and systems development lifecycle management throughout the Department of Technology Management and Budget (DTMB) in order to implement repeatable processes and conduct development activities according to Capability Maturity Model Integrated (CMMI) Level 3 requirements. A formal enterprise level support structure will be created to support, improve and administer SUITE, SEM, Project Management Methodology, and related enterprise initiatives. Until that structure is in place, questions regarding SEM should be sent to [email protected] where they will be addressed by a matrixed team. This SEM replaced in total the former State of Michigan Systems Development Lifecycle (SDLC) document dated November 2001 and related templates.

  • CAD Usage in Modern Engineering and Effects on the Design Process
    CAD Usage in Modern Engineering and Effects on the Design Process A Research Paper submitted to the Department of Engineering and Society Presented to the Faculty of the School of Engineering and Applied Science University of Virginia • Charlottesville, Virginia In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Science, School of Engineering Pascale Starosta Spring, 2021 On my honor as a University Student, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this assignment as defined by the Honor Guidelines for Thesis-Related Assignments 5/11/2021 Signature __________________________________________ Date __________ Pascale Starosta Approved __________________________________________ Date __________ Sean Ferguson, Department of Engineering and Society CAD Usage in Modern Engineering and Effects on the Design Process Computer-aided design (CAD) is widely used by engineers in the design process as companies transition from physical modeling and designing to an entirely virtual environment. Interacting with computers instead of physical models forces engineers to change their critical thinking skills and learn new techniques for designing products. To successfully use CAD programs, engineering education programs must also adapt in order to prepare students for the working world as it transitions to primarily computer design work. These adjustments over time, as CAD becomes the dominant method for designing in the engineering field, ultimately have effects on the products engineers are creating and how they are brainstorming and moving through the design process. Studies and surveys can be conducted on current engineering students as well as professional engineers to determine how they interact with CAD differently from physical models, and how computer software can be improved to make the design process more intuitive and efficient.

  • Environmental Systems Analysis Tools for Decision-Making
    Environmental systems analysis tools for decision-making LCA and Swedish waste management as an example Åsa Moberg Licentiate thesis Royal Institute of Technology Department of Urban Planning and Environment Environmental Strategies Research Stockholm 2006 Titel: Environmental systems analysis tools for decision‐making LCA and Swedish waste management as an example Author: Åsa Moberg Cover page photo: Marianne Lockner TRITA‐SOM 06‐002 ISSN 1653‐6126 ISRN KTH/SOM/‐‐06/002‐‐SE ISBN 91‐7178‐304‐0 Printed in Sweden by US AB, Stockholm, 2006 2 Abstract Decisions are made based on information of different kinds. Several tools have been developed to facilitate the inclusion of environmental aspects in decision‐making on different levels. Which tool to use in a specific decision‐making situation depends on the decision context. This thesis discusses the choice between different environmental systems analysis (ESA) tools and suggests that key factors influencing the choice of ESA tool are object of study, impacts considered and information type regarding site‐specificity and according to the DPSIR‐framework. Waste management in Sweden is used as an example to illustrate decision‐making situations, but discussions concerning choice of tools are also thought to be of general concern. It is suggested that there is a need for a number of ESA tools in waste management decision‐making. Procedural tools like Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) should be used e.g. by companies applying for development of waste management facilities and by public authorities preparing plans and programmes. Within these procedural tools analytical tools providing relevant information could be used, e.g.

The objectives of the program are to: significantly increase safety and reliability, reduce the cost of accessing low-earth orbit, attempt to leverage commercial launch capabilities, and provide a growth path for manned space exploration. The safety, reliability and life cycle cost of the next generation vehicles are major concerns, and NASA aims to achieve orders of magnitude improvement in these areas. To get these significant improvements, requires a rigorous process that addresses Reliability, Maintainability and Supportability (RMS) and safety through all the phases of the life cycle of the program. This paper discusses the RMS process being implemented for the Second Generation RLV program. 1.0 INTRODUCTION The 2nd Generation RLV program has in place quantitative Level-I RMS, and cost requirements [Ref 1] as shown in Table 1, a paradigm shift from the Space Shuttle program. This paradigm shift is generating a change in how space flight system design is approached.

  • Design for Reliability: an Event- and Function-Based Framework for Failure Behavior Analysis in the Conceptual Design of Cognitive Products
    INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENGINEERING DESIGN, ICED11 15 - 18 AUGUST 2011, TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF DENMARK DESIGN FOR RELIABILITY: AN EVENT- AND FUNCTION-BASED FRAMEWORK FOR FAILURE BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS IN THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF COGNITIVE PRODUCTS Thierry Sop Njindam and Kristin Paetzold Universität der Bundeswehr München ABSTRACT Product complexity in modern engineering is rising at an ever-increasing rate for several reasons. On the one hand, designers are aimed at extending the functionality of products, thus, integrating them in human living environments and optimizing their interaction with humans. On the other hand, this functionality extension results from the synergetic integration of different disciplines. However, an important prerequisite for the market launch of these products is their ability to meet the previously defined requirements, particularly safety and reliability. In this perspective, we proposed a framework for the early analysis of the functional behavior of cognitive products. We assume that the failure of a function is linked with a system internal state transition. It is then possible to model the sequencing of different possible states, and by this means different functional failures which lead to critical feared states, thus, taking into account the random nature of the occurring failures. The approach presented is explained using an extended stochastic petri net with switching time to model the failure behavior of a cognitive walker. Keywords: Design for reliability, cognitive products, failure behavior analysis. 1 INTRODUCTION From today´s perspective, the emphasis on increasing the functionality of modern engineering products is shaping the product development. Global competition, recent advances in technology, and increased customer expectations are some of the reasons for that [6].

  • Chapter 9 – Designing the Database
    Systems Analysis and Design in a Changing World, seventh edition 9-1 Chapter 9 – Designing the Database Table of Contents Chapter Overview Learning Objectives Notes on Opening Case and EOC Cases Instructor's Notes (for each section) ◦ Key Terms ◦ Lecture notes ◦ Quick quizzes Classroom Activities Troubleshooting Tips Discussion Questions Chapter Overview Database management systems provide designers, programmers, and end users with sophisticated capabilities to store, retrieve, and manage data. Sharing and managing the vast amounts of data needed by a modern organization would not be possible without a database management system. In Chapter 4, students learned to construct conceptual data models and to develop entity-relationship diagrams (ERDs) for traditional analysis and domain model class diagrams for object-oriented (OO) analysis. To implement an information system, developers must transform a conceptual data model into a more detailed database model and implement that model in a database management system. In the first sections of this chapter students learn about relational database management systems, and how to convert a data model into a relational database schema. The database sections conclude with a discussion of database architectural issues such as single server databases versus distributed databases which are deployed across multiple servers and multiple sites. Many system interfaces are electronic transmissions or paper outputs to external agents. Therefore, system developers need to design and implement integrity controls and security controls to protect the system and its data. This chapter discusses techniques to provide the integrity controls to reduce errors, fraud, and misuse of system components. The last section of the chapter discusses security controls and explains the basic concepts of data protection, digital certificates, and secure transactions.

Design for disability within the clothing and apparel industry represents a small and often overlooked market. Traditionally, the fashion industry has focused on a narrowly defined retail customer; one based on contemporary societal ideals of beauty: young, attractive, and physically healthy (Carroll, 2015). For an individual with disabilities, fashion and dress choices are limited and can impact how he/she is perceived and accepted by others.
