US space systems engineering training company offering courses in V&V, mission engineering, MBSE, applied space systems engineering and systems thinking.
Teaching Science & Technology, Inc. (TSTI) is a veteran-owned US training company focused on space systems engineering, which states that it has trained engineers for more than 30 years for commercial space companies, defense organizations and national space agencies.
Its systems engineering courses cover system verification and validation, mission engineering, concurrent mission design, essential and applied MBSE, applied space systems engineering and systems thinking across the project lifecycle. TSTI delivers them with a live instructor on site or on a virtual platform for organizations, and public live-online sessions of several courses run through AIAA.
Tool-agnostic, hands-on course in building and using system models across the lifecycle, practiced in Innoslate (or Cameo in AIAA sessions).
Course on executing systems engineering on space programs: calibrating rigor, requirements, architecture, interfaces, verification planning and technical management.
Executive-level introduction to MBSE as an organizational capability: value, limits, adoption challenges and a practical roadmap.
Hands-on workshop in which teams design a space mission from an RFP and defend their architecture at a formal Mission Concept Review.
Course on mission engineering as decision support: defining mission context, decomposing mission threads and evaluating solution options with mission-level metrics.
Course on planning and executing verification and validation across the system lifecycle, with hands-on assembly, integration and verification exercises on a desktop CubeSat.
Course facilitators may include: Jerry Jon Sellers
Two-day case-based course using lessons learned to build decision-making frameworks for systems engineering and project management challenges.
