System Design

T.B.C.

As the world becomes more complex, it is becoming increasingly more important to design our products, processes and service as systems. A systems approach to design ensures we adopt a holistic through-life view taking into account the requirements of all the stakeholders. It also ensures we systematically explore all the design choices to select those options that best match the requirements. This module on System Design aims to educate and train students in how to practically apply a systems approach to the design of a system. The focus on ‘doing’ the design’ makes it unique and a powerful module for anybody interested in systems and systems engineering. The course approach is based on the Kolb learning cycle with a significant proportion of the course set aside for exercises to reinforce the learning. Indeed, many of the small group exercises involve a case study which provides a practical focus for the course and enables the delegates to practise the tools and techniques presented. This case study culminates with a “design review” on the last day where the participants present their system concept solution. The module is delivered via lectures and participative workshops over one single week
