Aerospace Applications of Systems Engineering

Instructor(s)

Description

Based on evolving systems engineering standards, EIA/IS 632 and IEEE P1220 and Version 3.2.1 of the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook. Provides a working knowledge of all elements, technical and managerial, involved in systems engineering as applied to aerospace systems of varying complexity. Concentrates on the most troublesome areas in systems development: requirements derivation, documentation, allocations, verification and control. Hardware and software systems case studies from several sectors of the aerospace industry will be used as systems development examples. Techniques have been used on many DoD and NASA programs and also are applicable to commercial and civilian projects.

Target Audience

Designed for systems engineers at all levels and program managers developing large or small systems.

Fee

Includes instruction, a course notebook, INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook, DVD, refreshments and five lunches. The course notes are for participants only and are not for sale.

Fees: See fee information for individual classes in the registration column on the right side of this page.
