About this course
Develops the knowledge and skills to conduct test and evaluation (T&E) for assurance of complex systems: T&E principles and methods in the context of systems engineering, evaluating systems with a scientific approach, designing data collection, and selecting and justifying an approach to system assurance. Topics include measures of effectiveness, suitability and performance; developmental, acceptance and operational T&E; environmental and threat factors; legal aspects; test resources including ranges and modeling and simulation; and the use of MBSE to support T&E, practiced through group projects and case studies.
The certificate is a single course (ENGM5002) delivered fully online.
