About this course

An eight-week online course giving engineers and technical professionals a practical foundation in systems engineering: how systems thinking can define problems, develop requirements, architect solutions and manage complex systems through their life cycle, and the technical and management processes that contribute to successful system development and operation. After an introduction week, weekly topics are introduction to systems engineering; systems thinking and defining the problem; systems engineering and requirements; control functionality; terminology and goals, qualification approach, validation and verification; and technical management processes, including how systems engineering relates to project and program management.

Instruction is by UConn faculty at the Pratt & Whitney Institute for Advanced Systems Engineering, with a live virtual lunchtime session each week. Cohort options are available for organizations.
