Credit: 4 CPD

Length: 70 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 four hour course that discusses analysis and control tools that provide balance to the process. Key activities - such as risk management, configuration management, and trade studies - that support and run parallel to the system engineering process are identified and explained.

Learning Objectives

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

• Explain the systems engineering process.
• Use a work breakdown structure to organize system development work.
• Describe how to manage configuration issues during product development.
• Explain how trade studies are used in systems engineering.
• Apply simulations to product design.
• Explain the benefits of verification and validation.
• Select appropriate metrics for a process.
• Evaluate the risks inherent in a process.

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 25 questions. CPD credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
