Professor Rashmi Jain
Courses in English on "Systems Architecture and Design" and "Systems Integration" were offered on December 14, 15 and 16, 2009 and on December 17, 18 and 21, 2009 in Classroom C3N14 on the 3rd floor of the Collaboration Complex. A total of 10 students participated, 4 from Japan and 6 from other countries. While this number was smaller than when the courses were offered in May, the content was even better, as can be seen from the group work on case studies of ATM systems development.
Classroom
The first half, "Systems Architecture and Design," began by considering what is meant by "architecture" and "good requirements." The lectures also looked at the impact of requirements and architecture on systems integration. In the "Systems Integration" half, the lectures turned to topics like interface management, integration, testing, verification, applicability confirmation using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) parts and systems integration management.
Students were very satisfied and pleased to have the opportunity to hear directly from Professor Rashmi Jain, the upcoming head of educational activities at the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE), on the topics of "systems architecture and design" and "systems integration."
