Overview
A three-day professional course designed to provide participants with a solid foundation in systems engineering and practical experience applying systems engineering methodologies to complex product-development environments.
The course considers both technical practice and the organisational change required for enterprises to introduce systems engineering successfully. Each day concludes with a moderated group workshop in which participants apply the methods discussed during the course.
