Systems Engineering was originally introduced in response to the need to develop increasingly complex systems in the aerospace industry. The socioeconomic challenges related to globalization, population growth, economic interdependence, and sustainability are stressing the need for systems engineering competencies to be applied in different domains. <\/strong><\/p>\n Systems Engineering projects require multidisciplinary skills and cross-functional design teams, including a wide set of disciplines, such as design, manufacturing, system analysis, knowledge management, and sustainability analysis. Course participants have the chance to acquire methodological and theoretical knowledge in systems engineering and to apply it in \u2018real-life\u2019 systems engineering projects in collaboration with selected partners companies.\u00a0<\/p>\n We collaborate on a yearly basis with medium large manufacturing companies operating in:<\/p>\n \n<\/div><\/div><\/div> The development of complex products and systems entail the consideration of multidimensional aspects (e.g hardware, software, service, human factors, equipment, facilities) that need to be seamlessly integrated to address the needs and fulfill the requirements of all the stakeholders involved.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Systems Engineering is an area which has at its core the combination of knowledge and competences from engineering, management and human behavior.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The students will develop understanding on the principles, methods, tools and techniques nowadays in use to address such complex development projects in multifunctional teams.

LEARNING & TEACHING<\/span><\/h4>\n
Frontal lectures on systems engineering theories and methods are combined with short classroom exercises where students actively work in groups on a defined task related to the lecture. The results of the short classroom exercise are then plenary discussed under the moderation of the teacher.
A reverse engineering role-play is organized as a central event of the course in a two days activity to give participants a first-hand experience of the systems engineering methods applied in the context of a reverse engineering exercise. The role-play is run in teams while the participants will ultimately individually reflect on the systems engineering dynamics of the role-play.
A course project is run in teams in collaboration with a selected partner company. The project is run in parallel with the other learning activities all along the period of study and will challenge the student in solving a systems engineering problem. The course project features a visit to the industrial facilities of the partner company to physically get in touch and test the product or systems subject of the project. A guest lecture from an industrial expert complement the company visit. The partner company will also host the final presentations of the course project, which will happen at the end of the study period.
Team coaching is provided along the course of the project and it is complemented by peer-evaluation in the form of class presentations and feedback about both the process and the results. The university educational platform is used as a virtual environment to support knowledge sharing among students\u2019 teams and teachers. On the platform questions about the course projects are posted and updated to share the answers of specific questions to all the participants.
Interactive presentation methods (e.g. Mentimeter) are used to interactively collect feedback, create pool, quizzes and run questions and answers sessions, at specific moments in the course.
