The tutorial is conducted in classroom format using PowerPoint slides with discussion and breakout exercises used throughout to improve learning and comprehension.
This tutorial demonstrates a practical approach to foundational principles and methods of systems engineering within a framework for overall project success. We focus on both understanding the problem and defining the solution as we address requirements, behavior, architecture, and V&V. Rather than treating these in isolation, the fundamentals are positioned within a flexible systems engineering framework suitable for system development tasks across the complexity spectrum. Our focus will be on eliciting the right requirements, understanding the problem and solution, enhancing communication amongst the design team and the stakeholders, and satisfying the system need, all underpinned by a model-based approach. We maintain focus upon the true deliverables – the system itself and overall project success.
This tutorial is intended for the novice or first-time attendee seeking to understand systems engineering concepts and terminology. Intermediate and expert systems engineers may attend to refocus on the fundamentals naturally framed and positioned in a model-based manner.
David Long is confirmed. I am willing to partner with other presenters such as Dan Spencer or Jawahar Bhalla, if desired.
