PARTICIPANT TESTIMONIALS

  • Systems Engineering & Engineering
    Systems Engineering & Engineering

Skill Level: Open to all.

This course addresses how to plan and manage systems engineering efforts through the use of NASA lifecycle phases, key technical reviews, and systems engineering management techniques. Participants should possess a solid understanding of NASA systems engineering processes and artifacts. Those looking for an introduction to systems engineering should take Fundamentals of Systems Engineering (APPEL-vFSE).

This course is designed for NASA’s technical workforce, including systems engineers and project personnel who seek to develop the competencies required to succeed as a leader of a project team, functional team, or small project.

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

  • Define how systems engineering processes are planned and managed as illustrated in the NASA Procedural Requirements (NPR) for systems engineering (NPR 7123.1) and project management (NPR 7120.5).
  • Identify the key drivers for planning, scheduling, and managing systems engineering processes.
  • Implement effective methods for estimating the cost, schedule, and risks associated with systems development.
  • Implement effective methods for monitoring and controlling systems development efforts.
  • Identify and mitigate systems development risks.
  • Assess system engineering processes and artifacts for deficiencies.
  • Use NASA technical reviews to monitor and minimize risk in system development.
