8. Systems Integration and Interface Management

[@TheBuccaneerEngineer]

Thanks again for the great lecture! I’ve actually have experienced a product failure last year which was due to absence of interfaces management and failure mode effectiveness analysis. 4 canonical categories of interface : Physical connection, energy flow, mass flow, information flow

[@douglasstrother6584]

Interfaces are the most neglected and most interesting aspects of System Engineering.

[@BunKerFunK3r]

I assume it's because so many engineers still are all part-oriented instead of system-oriented.

@@BunKerFunK3r Subject-matter Experts know all about "their box". That's why System Engineers have to think outside of the box!

Read about "Integration Readiness Levels" which are metrics comparable to TRLs regarding the maturity of integration.

Good stuff nicer than music I love it

I like to listen to knowledge outside of my field, to get the deeper underlying pattern many fields use to structure things and concepts. Thank you for sharing this content with the world.

damn shame he had to present this lecture remotely from EPFL. Audio quality is bad and its more difficult to understand when the slide advance

[@ThePuggoMC]

Thank you for the video, I hope this will be helpful towards my upcoming interview for my SI internship

so, a human to motion detector interface would fall under physical interface?

[@sameeringale7865]

On a high level Yes... but you would have to define on a low level what part of the motion detector is getting triggered by the human
