Description

This course provides students with an in-depth understanding of Systems Engineering (SE) as a discipline and a professional practice. Focusing on the entire system lifecycle, from conception through retirement. The curriculum covers the principles, processes, and management techniques required to successfully engineer complex systems. Students will learn to apply a systematic, top-down approach to define stakeholder needs, develop robust requirements, conduct trade-off analyses, and manage system design, integration, and verification. The course emphasizes the practical application of theory through tutorials, assignments, and reference to key industry standards like the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook.
