Introduction

Include a brief description of subsystem function.

Design Philosophy

Include a description of the basis of all design decisions here. What are you trying to accomplish with the design and how will it accomplish?


List key requirements and a description of how your design decisions meet this. In case you have a functional flow block diagram to supplement the functional block diagram, include it in this section.

Functional Block Diagram

Subsystem Design

Provide a description of the current state of the design here. This will act as a living document that will be continuously updated through the life of the project.

Include:

  • Budget (Engineering and Monetary)

  • Drawings

  • System Block Diagrams

  • Schematics

  • Dimensions/Masses

  • Trade offs

For any table, graph or images included, use the "Subheading" font size in the titles.

Sample System Block Diagram

System block diagrams will showcase how the subsystem components are connected to each other. Important interfaces include: physical mounting, electrical and data.

Ensure that all subsystem components are easily identified if you include interfaces with other subsystems.

Sample Drawing/Model/Schematics

As drawings or models are created, include into the design section to provide clear visuals and dimensions. For all drawings and schematics, follow good practices, provide tolerances, and use critical dimensions to the appropriate level of detail.

Hardware

In this section, list all hardware and related data sheets.

Key Risks

In this section, describe key subsystem risks and mitigation activities/strategies

References

In this section, include references to specific documents, activities or requirements using the IEEE reference style.

When making references, hyperlink both the in text citation and the citation here.
