About this course
A one-day seminar that introduces systems engineering and sets out the evidence for its value to engineering, project and business performance. It gives high-level exposure to the main practices — requirements capture and validation, solution definition, design optimisation, integration and verification and validation — and to systems engineering as a common language within and between teams.
