Gain a foundational understanding of Systems Engineering, essential for the successful development of complex systems. This course guides you through the system design and life cycle, from initial design and architecture to development, production, and ongoing management. Understand how system components interact and contribute to project goals, ensuring operational success and effective risk management.
This course is for individuals interested in understanding how complex systems are developed and implemented. It benefits professionals in project management, program management, engineering, QA, operations, and management roles, as well as those in logistic support and maintenance.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
* Explain the system life cycle, from design to management.
* Identify how system components interrelate and contribute to project success.
* Understand core systems engineering terminology.
* Apply foundational concepts for developing and implementing complex systems.
No specific background is required. This course welcomes learners with all levels of interest and experience, supporting your learning journey.
Welcome to Systems and Their Life Cycle! In this module, you will learn what defines a system, with a focus on human-made systems that are central to systems engineering. You will explore the key phases of a system’s life cycle—from identifying needs and exploring options to functional design, phys…
This module describes systems engineering, outlining its relevance and benefits. You will understand what systems engineering means and gain a framework for the course's major processes and activities. This approach offers advantages for any project. By the end, you will explain the discipline of s…
Before diving into detailed systems engineering activities, this module focuses on system needs and requirements. You will examine how business management, business operations, and systems designers view these requirements. We also cover requirements engineering, the process for developing a clear…
This module explores requirements engineering, covering how requirements are elicited and formally defined through elaboration. You will learn about simple requirements engineering tools and their practical uses. We also examine traceability, ensuring you track each requirement's origin and relatio…
This module covers Conceptual Design, where you translate business and stakeholder needs into a system-level understanding. You will determine what the system must do, its performance, and how it interacts with other systems to meet requirements. We then explore system-level synthesis, making high-…
Building on Conceptual Design, this module focuses on detailed design decisions. During preliminary design, you will identify subsystems, their functions, and inter-relationships. We address key questions like sourcing subsystems or designing them from scratch. For subsystems needing design or modi…
Following detailed design, this module covers system construction and production. You will examine critical systems engineering activities like configuration audits and system verification. We then explore the utilization phase, where systems engineering supports modification and upgrade projects.…
In this final module, you will explore key management issues in systems engineering to maintain balance and control. We cover verification and validation management, configuration management, technical risk management, and managing technical reviews. We also introduce alternative development strate…
You have completed the modules! This final section prepares you for the final exam that assesses your understanding of advanced design, construction, and management principles in systems engineering. To succeed, review all materials from these modules. We also want to share information about the Ma…
