Module content

Systems engineering is a multidisciplinary engineering profession that focuses on the conception, design, development, architecting, integration and management of complex systems over their life cycle. It does this by creating, executing and coordinating an interactive platform for all stakeholders viz: clients, consumers, design team/technical crew and management team amongst others. Complexity of systems hinges on diversity, multiplicity and intricacy of intra and interconnectivity of system entities. This module will commence briefly with some introductory knowledge prior to diverting to intermediate and advanced concepts with specific attention given to case studies, software applications and emergence of research opportunities. Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems covering robotics systems modelling amongst others would be addressed and given a special preference.

[Block Week One]: Design, Operations and Performance of Systems
Systems Design, Architecting, verification, Analysis and validation
Model-Based Systems Engineering 
Matlab Demo of Requirements Deployment-Modelling of case study systems.
Operation of systems-covering: Reliability of systems; Maintenance-Time and Condition based

[Block Week Two]:Complexity of interaction in Systems
Understanding and modelling system complexity, IoT (Internet of Things), RoTs (Relationship of Things), System of Systems, System of System of Systems, Life Cycle Analysis of interacting systems.                                                                                                                                        

[Block Week Three]: Understanding and Modelling AI Systems 
Robotic Arm and Vehicle, Design, Dynamics (Kinematics and Kinetics), Static analysis and joint stiffness; Sensors and Actuators.

University of Pretoria Programme Qualification Mix (PQM) verification project
The higher education sector has undergone an extensive alignment to the Higher Education Qualification Sub-Framework (HEQSF) across all institutions in South Africa. In order to comply with the HEQSF, all institutions are legally required to participate in a national initiative led by regulatory bodies such as the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET), the Council on Higher Education (CHE), and the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA). The University of Pretoria is presently engaged in an ongoing effort to align its qualifications and programmes with the HEQSF criteria. Current and prospective students should take note that changes to UP qualification and programme names, may occur as a result of the HEQSF initiative. Students are advised to contact their faculties if they have any questions.
