ME 53504 - Systems Driven Product Development


Credit Hours: 3.00.  Integrated Model-Based Systems Driven Product (and Process) Development, or SDPD (Systems Driven Product Development) is a methodology and framework for integrating system behavioral modeling with downstream design and manufacturing practices to plan multi-domain, complex, systems. SDPD is an implementation of MBE (Model-based Engineering) which integrates MBSE (Model-based Systems Engineering) and PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) to create the “Digital Twin” of a product/process and support the digital transformation resulting in the digital enterprise of Industry 4.0 (4th Industrial Revolution). The course covers key concepts and definitions pertaining to SDPD including MBSE, PLM, Digital Manufacturing, Digital Twin, Digital Thread, Industry 4.0, Interoperability, Traceability, Validation/Verification, Optimization, and Predictive Analytics. State-of-the-art engineering software tools are taught and used by students to design, optimize and verify multi-domain complex products (or systems) following the SDPD methodology. The graduate level project consists of a comprehensive implementation of SDPD methodology in real-life/industry relevant design and optimization of complex (multi-domain) systems.Credits: 3.00
