Course Description
Systems Engineering can be a relatively new discipline in the management of complex physical systems. Understanding the value of systems engineering and its processes can provide a shared and common perspective of what systems engineering is and how it can contribute to product and project success. In this course, the systems engineering landscape is introduced, the importance of systems engineering and key processes across the product lifecycle are discussed, and focus areas within the practice are presented.
Course Outline
- Module 1: Systems Engineering Introduction, System Lifecycle, Systems Engineering Method, and Development Process
- Module 2: Details on the Systems Engineering Method
- Module 3: Agile and Lean Systems Engineering
- Course Summary
