Course outcomes:

At the end of the course the student will be able to:

1. Apply the concept to develop systems engineering plan for a realistic project.

2. Review the applicability of the proposed process, methodology for systems engineering using the fundamental concepts

3. Execute the system engineer’s role and responsibilities.

4. Apply systems engineering tools to realistic problems

5. Recognize the value and limitations of modeling and simulation.

 

Question paper pattern:

The SEE question paper will be set for 100 marks and the marks scored will be proportionately reduced to 60.

  • The question paper will have ten full questions carrying equal marks.
  • Each full question is for 20 marks.
  • There will be two full questions (with a maximum of four sub questions) from each module.
  • Each full question will have sub question covering all the topics under a module.
  • The students will have to answer five full questions, selecting one full question from each module.
