Systems Engineering Overview

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

This 3-day overview course is designed for participants and stakeholders in technical projects who want to understand systems engineering concepts without directly applying the tools themselves. Grounded in systems thinking, the course introduces the foundational principles and interdisciplinary methods used to engineer effective, life-cycle balanced solutions that align with stakeholder needs and values. Participants will gain a shared understanding of key systems engineering (SE) elements—such as requirements analysis, design, trade-off evaluation, integration, verification, and SE management—within the context of typical life-cycle phases. Development styles like waterfall, incremental, evolutionary, and spiral are explored, along with the benefits of concurrent engineering. No engineering background is required.

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

• the overall concepts which are characteristic of a systems approach to engineering;
• the overall process elements, and their relationships, which collectively constitute the building blocks of systems engineering;
• the role of Model-Based Systems Engineering(MBSE);
• how to relate the roles of developer as supplier, developer as creator, and developer as acquirer, and to place their own roles, and those of their customers (internal and external) and suppliers(internal and external) within this framework;
• how to perform some of the basics of some of the more important techniques of system requirements analysis, development of physical solution, development of logical solution, evaluation of solution alternatives (trade-off studies) and design iteration; and
• some of the principles and major techniques ofengineering management in a systems project context.

Training Method and Materials

The course is delivered using a mixture of formal presentation, informal discussion, and workshops that exercise key aspects of systems engineering on a single system through a development life cycle. The Systems Engineering training makes use of workshops to put into practice the techniques covered in theory sessions.

You will be provided with:

• comprehensive Systems Engineering Overview 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
