Master Class System Engineering

This master class presents the System Engineering methodology developed by the International Counsel of System Engineers (INCOSE, www.incose.org), consolidated in ISO/IEC/IEEE system and software engineering standards. We tailor and apply it to electronic products and smart systems with embedded electronics. We discuss in-depth the New Product Exploration (NPE), Planning (NPP) and Introduction (NPI) stages of system development that bring an electronic products from idea to the end user.
The specific characteristics of the electronic supply chain and the associated smart product development challenges are presented. A development methodology capable to cope with these challenges is explained as well as the important role of Design-for-eXcellence.

Course objectives

• Introduction to ISO/IEC/IEEE System and Software Engineering standards.
• Insight in product life-cycle stages and processes of electronics and smart systems.
• Elements of an electronic product and  smart system development methodology.
• What capabilities does a smart system engineering organization needs and can we assess this?

Off interest to:

All stakeholders in electronic product and smart system development.
