Systems Engineering Training Course
Systems Engineering (SE) contributes to the successful design, development, test, integration, delivery and support of complex systems. SE needs to be understood and practiced both by organizations acquiring major assets and by the industry producing them.
The Systems Engineering discipline involves identification of requirements, allocation of functions to hardware and software, integration of specialist engineering inputs, synthesis of the system elements into a properly working solution, process control of the detailed engineering activities, and the test and verification to confirm that the requirements have been achieved.
The CSC Systems Engineering Fundamentals course has evolved since its introduction in 1997 to become a very successful practical guide to effective SE. Each student receives a comprehensive, up-to-date textbook that is compliant with ISO/IEC 15288:2008, Systems and Software Engineering – Life Cycle Processes, and consistent with INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook, V3.1, August 2007. The course textbook includes theory, case studies, outlines, check lists and exercises, and is supported by excellent training films.
The Systems Engineering Fundamentals course provides a focal point for all technical project activity, including:
- Requirements Management
- Design and Development
- Specialist Engineering – including Reliability, Maintainability, Survivability, Supportability, Safety, Human Factors, Testability, Electromagnetic Compatibility, Environmental Protection and Producibility
- Technical Reviews, Audits, Technical Performance Measurement
- Decision Management (Trade-Off Studies, Value Engineering, Business Case Analysis)
- Verification and Validation (Test and Evaluation)
- Technical Data Management, Configuration Management and Quality Management
- Technical Risk Management
The course presents many examples from a wide range of projects, and includes two major case studies, one of which demonstrates how a project can fail through lack of proper SE, and the other demonstrating a very successful implementation of SE.
