Lifecycle, Processes & Systems Engineering (APPEL-vLPSE)

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

• Define and demonstrate engineering of systems processes as illustrated in the NASA Procedural Requirements (NPR) for systems engineering (NPR 7123.1) and project management (NPR 7120.5).
• Explain operations concepts, their development, and their impact on the system of interest.
• Define system architecture functions and analyze their functional performance.
• Define system technical solution options and describe how trade studies are performed.
• Map architecture functions to subsystems and define the relationships among the subsystems.
• Describe internal and external interface definitions, designs, and changes for products and product components.
• Explain the importance of establishing a technical planning process for a given system of interest.
• Explain system realization, integration, verification, validation, and transition.
• Identify tools used for systems engineering activities.
