Introduce students to the concept of systems engineering and systems thinking. Guide students to expand their thinking about design to incorporate structured methods from Systems and Software Engineering including model based approaches. Ensure that students are able to consider functional and non-functional behaviour when creating requirements as well as predicting failure modes. Impress upon students the importance of correct and traceable requirements on product success as well as on safety and the environment. Exploit the synergies between Systems and Software Engineering processes to introduce formal software engineering to students.
