Abstract

IpX is proud to partner with Project Performance International (PPI) to offer proven Systems Engineering Courses with a 10% discount!

This 5-day course is designed for professionals who perform or manage significant engineering roles, regardless of whether they carry the title “systems engineer.” It provides a structured, systems-based approach to engineering that integrates technical and management disciplines to optimize system effectiveness, reduce risk, and drive project success. Participants explore broad concepts rooted in systems thinking, then apply them progressively—from simple systems to complex, real-world scenarios—culminating in a hands-on workshop that spans the full engineering lifecycle. With over 12,500 professionals trained across 42 countries, the course emphasizes actionable methods, strategic alignment with corporate objectives, and strong grounding in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) techniques.

Objectives

At the conclusion of this course, participants are expected to have learned:

  • the overall concepts that are characteristic of a systems approach to engineering;
  • the overall process elements that collectively constitute the building blocks of systems engineering;
  • the fundamental relationships between those process elements that allow us to successfully develop an engineering system well-matched to the product to be engineered;
  • the basis of selection between styles of development such as waterfall, incremental, evolutionary and “spiral”;
  • some of the principles and major techniques of engineering management in a systems project context; and
  • some basic capability to tailor the application of the systems engineering methods to different application scenarios.

Training Method and Materials

The course is delivered using a mixture of formal presentation, informal discussion, and extensive workshop activities that exercise key aspects of systems engineering on a single system through a development life cycle. The result is a high degree of learning, as evidenced by course work products, and the extensive commendations received from participants.

The Systems Engineering training makes extensive use of workshops to put into practice the techniques covered in theory sessions.

You will be provided with:

  • comprehensive Systems Engineering course notes containing presentation material
  • a Workbook containing workshop exercises, with worked examples also distributed in most cases
  • numerous supplementary descriptions, checklists, forms and charts which you can put to use immediately

Who Should Attend?

This Systems Engineering course is designed for personnel who perform, manage, control or specify the development of small to large technology-based systems, especially for exacting applications or to fixed budgets. The course will be of particular value to people with job titles such as:

  • Business analyst, Military capability developer, Design engineer, Engineering manager, Enterprise architect, Hardware engineer, Industrial engineer, Logistics Support Analysis Specialist, Product manager, Project director, Project engineer, R & D manager, Software engineer, Software systems engineer, Systems analyst, System architect, Systems engineer or other engineering job titles.
