Upcoming Membership Meeting: Innovation in Systems Engineering

Meeting Information
Speaker: Amanda Foo
Date: June 9, 2014
Time: 5:30pm to 8:00pm
Location: Room 109, Carnegie Mellon University, Silicon Valley Campus (CMU), Moffett Field, CA
Summary

A look at two distinct areas: virtual reality and modular designs which both promote change in the System Engineering paradigm. Google Glass and other 3D enhancements help us harness the benefits of Model Based Engineering and simplify complex system designs while potentially aiding us with product assurance and quality issues. When looking at impacts on System Architecture, modular phone designs like ARA project start to scratch the surface of the possibilities of predisposed systems planned for innovation and interchangeability.
