Systems Engineering for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)
Two days
This course is aimed at the SMEs who wish to explore what easy benefits they can get from systems engineering. It quickly describes the thought processes and then focuses on specific techniques that can be used immediately whether or not the SME buys in to the whole business of systems engineering. The focus is on practical exercises for those techniques, and on a self-selected case study to apply the techniques to a real-world problem.
Course information (.pdf 70KB)


Requirements Development
Two days
Basics on how to use requirements. Includes concepts of requirements as system definition, as configuration management, and as an engineering tool. Methods to determine the operational need, analyze missions, define functions, write requirements, analyze requirements, and allocate requirements. Includes frequent class exercises, including exercises in functional flow block diagrams, data flow diagrams, and object-oriented analysis. Includes case study that carries through the major steps in defining and allocating requirements.
Course information (.pdf 51KB)
