About this course

The introductory course of UAH OPCE's systems engineering series, giving the foundation, processes, concepts, terms and definitions for later courses and practical use. The principles are presented in a predominantly US Department of Defense context, based on the instructor's defense career, with non-defense examples too. Topics include systems engineering roles and responsibilities, standard processes and their recursive nature, stakeholder requirements generation and specification, managing multidisciplinary products, work breakdown structures, functional and physical architectures, requirements verification and validation, risk management, and the evolution of systems engineering in enterprises.
