Introduction to Engineering System Design & Processes
In this system design course, learn how the components of a system interrelate and contribute to a project’s goals.
Description
An Introduction to Engineering System Design & Processes is an introductory course on Engineering System Design. The purpose of this course is to establish a basic understanding of Systems Engineering and the role it plays in the design process. Learn how systems engineering can be applied to any system development, whether you are developing a household appliance, building an airplane, or implementing a sophisticated transit management system.
This course will discuss all the disciplines and specialty groups that form a structured development process that proceeds from concept to production and finally through to operation. It considers both the business and the technical needs of all customers with the goal of providing a quality product. Finally, you will look at the classification of various systems, the role system engineers play, especially in the design of a system, the requirement analysis and the six functions of the design process.
This system design course is suitable for anyone who wants to find out how complex systems can be developed and implemented successfully. It is relevant to anyone considering a career in project management, engineering, QA, logistic support, operations, management, maintenance and other areas. It enhances professional credibility, extends knowledge and skills; and prepares you for more job responsibilities. Why wait, start this course today and advance your career!
