System Engineering-Practical Principles and Concepts (Webinar)

In System Engineering-Practical Principles and Concepts, you'll learn ...

• The complete systems engineering life cycle from needs analysis through product launch and retirement
• The integration of technical, operational, human, and management factors in systems engineering practice
• The evaluation of system performance, risk, quality, and change control within complex engineering projects
• How to organize and manage effective systems engineering teams using structured methodologies and collaborative processes

Overview

---

This webinar is designed to provide participants with a complete and detailed understanding of System Engineering concepts and practices. Attendees will acquire knowledge related to the guidelines and application of Systems Engineering as it applies to product and process development and will acquire a foundational understanding of Systems Engineering – leading to the successful development of complex systems.

Instruction will be focused on what characterizes a design and development project along with providing an understanding of the management principles used to develop new products & process. This will include strategies designed to identify, address and assess project risk factors by offering methods to implement best practices through the product development life-cycle.

Subject matter to be covered will include a straightforward description of engineering management disciplines that relate to the development of, the management of, and the creation of a new and/or improved product/process.

The technical topics to be covered will include conceptual design procedures, process engineering, value engineering, software and operational interactions, simulation and rapid prototyping, computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD-CAM), design review techniques, the System Engineering Management Plan (SEMP), supplier and outsourcing proficiency, quality and maintenance practices and risk management.
