Systems Engineering provides a broad overview of how systems engineering helps you develop complex projects that meet program objectives in an efficient way. You will learn how system architectures are developed and described, how to communicate the needs, requirements, and constraints throughout the project, how to optimize the design through trade studies, and how to know the system does what it’s supposed to in the end. By the end of this short course, you will have a high-level understanding of important systems engineering concepts that you can use as a foundation for future learning.
