Systems Engineering - Introduction & Advanced Course

Dr Ian Faulconbridge and Dr Mike Ryan present an edVirtus professional education course, Systems Engineering—Introduction, that provides attendees with an understanding of the discipline of systems engineering including the associated processes, tools, and management practices. The course places systems engineering principles in the context of the other related disciplines involved in the delivery of technical projects and the system life cycle. This three-day course is the first part of the five-day Systems Engineering—Advanced course. What follows is a two-day practicum that provides attendees with the opportunity to reinforce the material already covered and gain further knowledge of the early stages of the system life cycle, particularly Conceptual Design. The practicum then takes attendees through a number of design exercises that illustrate the application of systems engineering processes in a variety of contexts without assuming any prior knowledge of any particular development domain. The exercises provide the opportunity to practice, discuss and reflect on systems engineering in the early life cycle. Attendees of both courses receive a copy of the presenters’ most recent book "Applied Systems Engineering".
