System Engineering of Electronics and Smart Products

This master class presents the System Engineering methodology developed by the International Counsel of System Engineers (INCOSE, www.incose.org), consolidated in ISO/IEC/IEEE system and software engineering standards. We tailor and apply it to electronic products and smart systems with embedded electronics. We discuss in-depth the New Product Exploration (NPE), Planning (NPP) and Introduction (NPI) stages of system development that bring electronic products from idea to the end user. The specific characteristics of the electronic supply chain and the associated smart product development challenges are presented. A development methodology capable to cope with these challenges is explained as well as the important role of Design-for-eXcellence.

Course objectives

• Introduction to ISO/IEC/IEEE System and Software Engineering standards.
• Insight in product life-cycle stages and processes of electronics and smart systems.
