About this course
A six-module course giving an interdisciplinary view of systems engineering for complex systems, with railway applications: the history and principles of systems engineering; the ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 process model, methods, integration with project management and requirements engineering; life-cycle costing, cost and value engineering; RAMSS (reliability, availability, maintainability, safety and security) methods and risk analysis for mission-critical projects; functional safety; and the CENELEC standards and SIL in railway systems.
Delivered live online with lecturer Q&A, with recordings available for 12 months; it carries CFP credits for engineers in Italy. Taught in Italian.
