Introduction to Systems Engineering Specialization

Introduction to Systems Engineering introduces you to the holistic and interdisciplinary systems engineering approach to designing, realizing, and managing complex systems. In this three-course specialization, you will learn how to evolve a project from idea to fielded hardware customized to meet customer requirements while effectively managing costs, timescales, and limiting risks. You will identify and define a system and its components, model a system life cycle, and apply systems engineering methods using real-world engineering examples. The knowledge and terminology gained here empower you to work effectively with your project team and allow you to understand and speak the specialized language of systems engineering.
What You Will Learn:

• Describe the fundamentals of methods, practices, and processes of industry-standard systems engineering.
• Identify the phases of a complete system lifecycle, from initial customer contact to product retirement.
• Describe the methods of program control to achieve a defined scope of work within budget and schedule constraints.
• Define systems engineering and the systems engineering approach
