Three-day practical introduction to systems engineering across the whole system life cycle, with emphasis on requirements engineering, reviews and systems engineering management.
A practical introduction to systems engineering as a disciplined approach to conceiving, developing, producing, supporting, modifying and retiring complex technical systems. The course follows the progression from business needs and stakeholder requirements through conceptual, preliminary and detailed design to production, utilisation, support and retirement.
It gives particular attention to requirements engineering, technical reviews and audits, test and evaluation, configuration management and the systems engineering management plan, and places systems engineering alongside project management, integrated logistic support and specialist engineering. It forms the first three days of Systems Engineering—Advanced.
