Principles of Project/
Systems Engineering

Course No. 421

(Course Outline shown below.)

For Whom Intended  This course is designed for all levels of engineers and managers working on/with technology and technical related projects/programs; military and civilian engineers of all disciplines, project engineers, program managers, and scientists.

Brief Course Description  This course provides an introduction to project engineering principles, processes and practices. Quality assurance/control and system engineering techniques and their application to project engineering will be covered.

Because of the highly interactive format, a semester long course can be presented and should be under-stood in this time frame. The instructor welcomes questions and comments during lectures. Private discussions can be arranged between instructor and participants after class. There will be a final exam to evaluate the students' understanding of the course material presented.

Certificate Programs  This course may be used as an elective for any TTi Specialist Certificate program.

Prerequisites  There are no specific prerequisites. This course is aimed toward individuals actively involved in related technical fields. This course is designed to serve the varied needs of technicians and engineers. The instructor maintains a good balance between practical training and theory, wherever possible.

Text  Each student will receive a course workbook, including most of the viewgraphs used in the course presentation.

Course Hours, Certificate and CEUs  Open courses meet seven hours per day. Upcoming presentation dates can be found on our current open course schedule. Class hours/days for on-site courses can vary from 14-35 hours over 2-5 days as requested by our clients.
