Ingénierie système

Systems engineering

Description: This course provides an introduction to complex systems engineering, with a strong emphasis on modern modeling and simulation approaches. It relies on the MBSE (Model-Based Systems Engineering) methodology to structure system design throughout its entire lifecycle.

The course covers requirements engineering, stakeholder analysis, and architectural trade-off analysis. Students will also discover the SysML language to formalize a system’s structures and functions before exploring complementary paradigms: multi-agent modeling to apprehend emergent behaviors, and acausal modeling to simulate the interaction between physical components and control systems, accompanied by an introduction to the FMI standard to understand the challenges of co-simulation between heterogeneous models. Furthermore, the course invites students to debate issues that go beyond the purely technical aspects of the discipline (standardization, sovereignty, environmental impact, etc.) and concludes with a presentation by the AFIS and an industrial seminar on digital twins.

Learning outcomes: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to formulate relevant questions and requirements for the design, architecture, and impact analysis of a complex system; sketch heterogeneous modeling solutions (cyber-physical, multi-agent, MBSE) and evaluate their architectural trade-offs; as well as decipher and debate the socio-technical, normative, environmental, and managerial challenges associated with deploying systems engineering in a corporate environment.

Evaluation methods: Continuous assessment and final exam (2h)
