Systems Engineering Management

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

This online graduate course covers the essentials of systems engineering management and its critical interconnection to program/project management. Systems engineering is the integration of several engineering fields into an efficient and effective process for the overall technical management of programs and development of systems and products. Students will gain detailed knowledge in management techniques applicable to activities within Systems Engineering, including evaluating new technology, integrating legacy systems, trade-off studies, technical performance measurement, cost-effective process tailoring, technical reviews and audits, and others. Several case studies projects will be studied throughout the course to illustrate key concepts and management techniques
