This course provides students with an overview of processes and practices of systems engineering and how complex systems can be designed and developed using these processes and practices. You will learn how user requirements are captured from the stakeholders and how system requirements can be defined from analysing the user needs. You will then learn how to design the system by functional analysis and what is required to analyse to ensure your system design meets user's expectations. You will also apply systems engineering principles to develop verification and validation test plans that are essential to secure acceptance and delivery of the system to the customer
