Teach Every SE Methodology with Real Tools

Five methodology packs — SMAD for aerospace, DoD 5000 for defense acquisition courses, IEC 62304 for biomedical engineering, NERC CIP for power-systems programs, INCOSE V for systems engineering — mapped to interactive modules. Students graduate with portfolio-ready deliverables they can show employers.

Methodology-first curriculum

From Textbook to Tool — for Every Program

Classic SE textbooks define the equations, reference values, and design flow for each industry — SMAD (Wertz) for aerospace, DoD 5000.02 for defense acquisition, IEC 62304 for medical-device software, NERC CIP for power-system cybersecurity, INCOSE Handbook for systems engineering. But practicing any of them requires gluing together spreadsheets, MATLAB scripts, and PowerPoint. Hitt Hosting SE is the tool the methodology always needed — every concept is an interactive module students learn by using, not by reading about.

  • Full lifecycle for each pack: concept through operations (SMAD / DoD 5000 / IEC 62304 / NERC / INCOSE V)
  • Interactive calculators with pack-appropriate reference equations
  • Connected domains: requirements drive budgets drive design
  • Real engineering workflows, not toy examples
Capstone projects

End-to-End Capstone Support — Pick Your Pack

Student teams working on capstone projects need the same engineering discipline as professional programs, without the enterprise overhead. Aerospace programs do CubeSats with mass / power / link budgets and orbit selection. Biomedical capstones ship a Class II device with a DHF + ISO 14971 risk file. Power-systems senior projects take a distributed-energy resource through an IEEE 1547 interconnection study. Defense-acquisition cohorts run a tabletop MS A / MS B review with an AoA and CDD. Same platform, pack-appropriate content.

  • Aerospace: CubeSat mission definition → ConOps → phase gates → CDR package
  • Medical: Class II device with 20-section DHF + ISO 14971 hazard file
  • Defense: DoD 5000 milestones (MDD → MS B) + CDD + CMMC L1 posture
  • Energy: IEEE 1547 interconnect study + MTBF roll-up
  • Generic SE: INCOSE V-model for multi-disciplinary capstones
Deliverables

Portfolio-Ready Review Packages

Generate real review packages from your project data — the same artefacts professional programs produce. Requirements status, budget margins, risk posture, and gate readiness in an industry-native format. Students graduate with deliverables they can show employers, not just a grade on a paper.

  • Aerospace: SRR / PDR / CDR / TRR review packages
  • Defense: CDD / CMMC assessment / CDRL deliverables
  • Medical: DHF sections / ISO 14971 RMF / 510(k) predicate memo
  • Energy: LGIA / SIS / FIS / commissioning reports
  • Every pack: requirements trace matrix + risk register exports
Accessibility

Priced for Academic Budgets

A three-person student team cannot spend thousands on DOORS licenses. Hitt Hosting SE starts at $14.99/mo with a 30-day free pilot that gives full platform access. Academic teams can evaluate the full platform without budget approval. When your capstone project ends, export everything and cancel — your data is always yours.

  • 30-day free pilot with full feature access
  • Starter plan at $14.99/mo for student teams
  • No procurement cycle — sign up and start
  • Full data export at any time
