A really great and fun course that, gave me a good grounding in what Systems Engineering entails. The enthusiasm that Jess presents the course with just infects everyone else and its just plain amazing. Do it, its worth it!
This course was extremely engaging and helped me realise the importance of systems engineering. I will be using what I have learned in future projects!
An excellent, insightful and enjoyable demonstration of the value of Systems Engineering and how it applies to the entire lifecycle.
What is it?
A three-day course in Systems Engineering activities across a full life cycle, covering:
Introduction to Systems Engineering Context Diagrams Life Cycle Concepts Requirements Definition Interfaces Breakdown Structures Concept Design Trade-Offs and Design Decisions Detailed Design Assembly and Integration Testing Verification and Validation The V model
This course is based on the book ‘Adventures in Systems Engineering’, published by IfSE UK, and the content is taught through interactive, fantasy themed storytelling. 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
Duration
3 days
Target Audience
The course is intended for participants who:
Work or aspire to work on complex technical projects, whether as engineers, designers, project managers, scientists, researchers, those in the procurement or sales team, analysts… etc. – anyone at all who works or will work on integrated projects and needs an appreciation of Systems Engineering.
Need to learn Systems Engineering techniques that they can take back to their desk and start using right away.
Are early career professionals, or university students, who will particularly appreciate the fantasy theme as a break from traditional engineering education methods (or indeed later career professionals without prior Systems Engineering knowledge who would also appreciate an engaging fantasy context)
Benefits
By the end of this course, participants will be able to answer the following questions:
What is Systems Engineering?
What are the benefits of Systems Engineering and why is it needed for complex projects?
How does Systems Engineering fit into a project life cycle?
What Systems Engineering techniques exist and how do I use them?
How can I apply basic Systems Engineering principles in my day-to-day work?
Where do I go for further information?
Each of the Modules is also linked to a relevant competency area in the INCOSE Systems Engineering Competency Framework [INCOSE TP-2018-002-01.0]. This course contributes to building these selected competencies to between ‘awareness’ and ‘supervised practitioner’ level – depending on the competency’s chosen indicators of knowledge and the depth of the matching Module.
Prerequisites
None!
Material
Delegates receive PDF copies of the course slides and a physical copy each of the ‘Adventures in Systems Engineering Workbook’ written by the course tutor and published by IfSE UK.
