The Architecture and Systems Engineering: Models and Methods to Manage Complex Systems program is designed to provide professionals with the necessary knowledge and skills to excel in systems engineering and effectively manage complex systems. If you are considering enrolling in this program, here are some key factors to consider:
-
Industry Relevance: The program is well-suited for engineers and professionals working in industries such as aerospace, automotive, defense, consumer appliances, manufacturing, and related fields. It is also beneficial for systems engineering professionals, directors, or senior managers who want to enhance their operational, manufacturing, and design systems.
-
Program Content: The program consists of four online courses, each addressing specific aspects of systems engineering. Course 1, Architecture of Complex Systems, explores methods for managing larger complex systems and making good architectural decisions. Course 2, Models In Engineering, focuses on selecting appropriate modeling approaches and using models to make better engineering decisions. Course 3, Model-Based Systems Engineering: Documentation and Analysis, covers the framework for managing models and evaluating the suitability of model-based systems engineering approaches. Course 4, Quantitative Methods in Systems Engineering, provides quantitative tools and techniques for analyzing complex systems and making design decisions.
-
Learning Outcomes: By completing the program, you will develop a comprehensive understanding of systems engineering principles, the benefits and challenges of model-based systems engineering, and how to effectively manage models. You will gain practical skills in architectural decision-making, model evaluation, documentation and analysis, and quantitative analysis for system design.
-
Program Structure: The courses are delivered online, allowing for flexible learning at your own pace. The program duration and course-specific timelines should be considered to ensure they align with your availability and commitment.
