Full Day Tutorial - May 14th

Dr John K Davies, BAE SYSTEMS

Purpose

To enable engineers, managers and other staff to recognise the areas and issues that systems engineering is addressing and how it applies to their projects.  This workshop is not intended to train people how to do systems engineering, but enable them to understand and work with the concepts of systems engineering.

Who Should Attend

‘Anyone connected with Systems Engineering’.  Engineers who have been working in other disciplines who are taking on more of a Systems Engineering role and want more understanding of systems.  Systems Engineers whose work has been limited to one facet, such as Requirements, Testing or Design, and want a view across the whole scope.  Managers who want to develop the Systems Engineering capability within their company and need mechanisms for doing it.

Objectives

On completion of this course, attendees will recognise and be able to define ‘Customer Needs’, ‘User Requirements’, ‘System Requirements’,  ‘System Architecture’, ‘System Behaviour’, ‘Allocation’,  ‘Emergent Properties’, ‘Trade-offs’, ‘Integration’,  ‘Acceptance’, ‘Traceability’ and how they relate together.  They will understand the importance of these concepts in the development of their systems.

Method

Series of ‘hands-on’ group exercises with supporting presentations, based on the requirements, design and acceptance of a consumer system, related back to systems the attendees are familiar with.  The concepts are introduced in a non-conventional order that enhances the ‘hands-on’ nature of the workshop.

10 to 24
