Credit: 2 CPD

Length: 38 pages

This course series is divided into three volumes. This course, Volume I, describes the systems engineering process and includes an overview of system engineering and delves into requirements analysis, functional analysis, design synthesis, verification, and process outputs.

Volume II explains the analysis and control functions of system engineering which includes work breakdown structures, configuration management, technical reviews, trade studies, modeling, metrics and risk management. Volume III discusses system engineering planning, organizing, integration, and contractual considerations for large projects.

This volume is a two hour course that introduces you to the systems engineering problem-solving process, and discusses in basic terms some traditional techniques used in the process. An overview is given, and then the process of requirements analysis, functional analysis and allocation, design synthesis, and verification is explained in some detail. This course ends with a discussion of the documentation developed as the finished output of the systems engineering process.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Explain the development and life-cycle management of a system at a conceptual level.
• Define systems engineering management.
• Identify the three activities of systems engineering management.
• Describe the primary life-cycle functions of a product.
• Explain the systems engineering process.
• Apply requirements analysis to a development process.
• Explain the purpose of functional analysis and allocation in systems engineering.
• Identify the components of design synthesis.
• Describe how verification is used in systems engineering management.

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 18 questions. CPD credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
