TRAINING.

Overview

After participating in this course, you will be able to:

• use System Engineering approach in managing project scope and project realization
• integrate efficient and effective management tools
• conduct system design reviews: requirements traceability versus contract statements
• manage the life cycle of systems
• be familiar with system engineering as a profession

Description
Engineering is now part of new technologies in system development. To remain competitive, a company must excel in advanced systems engineering, methodology and techniques, beginning with requirements study, decomposition and analysis through system design management through system verification, deployment and end-user training.

Course Outline:

• System Engineering, An Interdisciplinary Approach
• Identifying, Controlling and Management of System Requirements
• Analysis and Design
• System Engineering Process, from proposals to commission
• System Technical Reviews
• Applicable Design Standards and Practices
• Systems Engineering Life Cycle, CMMI (The Capability Maturity Model, Integrated)
• Case Studies

Who Should Attend
Mechanical, Electrical Designers and Field Engineers • Consultants • Project Engineers •Engineers Working in Government and Military Technology Fields • Technical Personnel Involved in the Development of Engineering Projects • Professionals Who Need to Upgrade Their Current Experience and Knowledge of Systems and the discipline of System Engineering • Program Managers Who Require Practical Knowledge of Certain Aspects of System Engineering or Who Need to Refresh their Knowledge.
