This five-day course will give you an appreciation of the design process within the systems engineering lifecycle.
The course covers the concepts and challenges of activities associated with:
requirements
functional analysis
architectural design
You'll be introduced to techniques that help decision-making processes and will look at the creative as well as systematic elements of design.
The course is run by staff from the UCL Centre for Systems Engineering within UCL's Department of Space and Climate Physics (Mullard Space Science Laboratory (MSSL).

Course programme
One of the most important stages in system development is design. Typically, 80% of the final system cost is committed in the first 20% of the engineering activity, i.e. during the design phase.
Given the complexity of the task a series of methodologies, tools and techniques are used in order to manage the complexity and achieve the desired goals.
Although the process of design may be considered 'creative', many analytical processes also take place. In fact, many designers often make use of the various design methodologies in their creative process.
Complex systems design is necessarily a multidisciplinary activity and requires tailoring to adapt to the needs of the particular system complexity and organisation.
Course structureThe course will run over five days.
It's delivered as a combination of interactive taught sessions and group exercises.
You'll be given a hard copy of the taught material.
