System science and engineering
Objectives
This assessment requires you critically analyse the system design process of a project using the theory and principles studied during the course. This assessment item relates to the course learning outcomes 1 to 5.
Details
Your group has already analysed the conceptual design of a project in Assignment 1. In this assignment, you are required to write a report which critically analyses the preliminary design and detailed design phases of the project discussed in Assignment 1. Particular attention is to be paid to the system test, evaluation and validation processes employed and any optimisation that was required. In the Introduction, you will need to briefly summarise the content covered in Assignment 1.
To demonstrate your research skills and understanding, the report must draw upon relevant sources like journals, books or reputable trade publications in analysing the project. You must also present the case study in terms of the above two lifecycle phases and evaluate the detailed design against the identified needs / requirements.
Format
The report is to follow the format given below:
- Title Page
- Table of Contents.
- Introduction
- Preliminary design
- Detailed design
- System test, evaluation, validation and optimisation processes
- Evaluation
- References
You are expected to use the Harvard Referencing style for the Report.
Length
The 2000 (±10%) word length includes only the body of the report. It does not include the title page, table of contents, the reference list or any appendices.
