Fundamentals of Modern Systems Engineering

Course Description

By taking the Fundamentals of Modern Systems Engineering course, you will be able to structure and lead a conceptual design effort and apply the most essential systems engineering tools to realistic problems at your own organization. Designed with substantial industry input, the class addresses modern systems engineering principles through systems definition and requirements engineering to systems analysis and the design, implementation, operation, and technical management of systems projects. Explore a range of systems engineering principles and development methodologies through practical application to case study scenarios. Plus, become familiar with the financial and management issues associated with developing complex engineering systems in a hands-on environment.

Due to minimum enrollment requirements to hold a course, we ask that you register as early possible. View our terms and conditions for further information. If you have specific questions or requirements, please contact the course administrator.
