Skill Level: Open to all.

Systems engineering focuses on the interfaces among the people, processes, and products that are often outside the responsibility of any one function or discipline. This course equips your teams with the knowledge necessary to realize successful solutions. This course introduces the methods and techniques for a structured systems development process that proceeds from requirements to concept to production to operation, and is based upon NASA policy guidelines, specifically NASA Procedural Requirements (NPR) 7123.1 and 7120.5.

This course is designed for junior to mid-career NASA systems engineers, functional engineers, project managers, integrated product team members, and business managers.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Explain the purpose of systems engineering.
  • Describe the systems engineering process incorporating NASA policy guidelines (NPRs 7123.1 and 7120.5).
  • Explain the process for system requirements development and management.
  • Describe the system definition process (concepts and architecting).
  • Defend project decisions and trade-off analyses.
  • Analyze product and project risk and mitigation based upon NASA policies and practices.
  • Examine reliability, availability, and supportability factors during the design process.
  • Explain performance measurement needs.
  • Explain verification and validation activities.
