Part of IfSE UK’s ‘Systems Engineering Education’ series of books, ‘Adventures in Systems Engineering’ is an interactive fantasy-themed training course, designed to present Systems Engineering in an accessible, memorable, and even fun way for everyone. Participants work in teams to define, design and deliver an imaginary rescue system over a simulated full life cycle, all the while journeying across an enchanted valley. Throughout the course, teams encounter engaging characters and scenarios that prompt them to perform Systems Engineering activities.
The book is published by IfSE and was officially launched in November 2023 at their Annual Systems Engineering Conference.
‘Adventures in Systems Engineering’ is written by newly appointed Scarecrow Director Jessica Korzeniowska. This book guides trainers in running the ‘Adventures in Systems Engineering’ training course for early career professionals in all areas of complex engineering projects. Alongside the accompanying workbook and slide pack, it provides all the information required to successfully run the course in organisations, universities, or anywhere where Systems Engineering is needed.
