Instructed by Dr. Dianne DeTurris and Dr. Shannon Flummerfelt
ü New fundamental course covers all of the most important and relevant topics in Complex Systems Engineering
ü All students will receive
an AIAA Certificate of Completion at the end of the course
OVERVIEW
This
fundamental eight-hour course applies complex systems competency as a solution
for comprehensively addressing large system development in aerospace. Applying
complex systems competency to gaps in organizational, technical design, and
deployment provides necessary insights and essential enrichments to
optimization. Participants learn how to deal with scaling, interdependencies,
and interconnectedness in large systems to actualize leverage points for
managing complexity.

and interconnectedness in large systems to actualize leverage points for
managing complexity.
- Apply foundations of complex systems competency principles and practices
- Compare systems thinking and systems engineering, innovation, and leadership historically and currently for relevance in the current marketplace
- Use various continuous improvement methods for complex engineering problem solving and decision making for informing engineering practice
- Understand how to respond to various feedback mechanisms, such as Sprint cycles and continuous improvement cycles, as they may delay and/or cause system oscillations
- Synthesize methods used in other industries that are compatible with hardware-focused engineered systems
- Identify a variety of qualitative and quantitative tools for mastering systems competency
- Learn how to implement visual management methods including Industry 4.0
Intended participants are engineers and aerospace professionals in technical fields who work on large system development. The course is not geared toward a specific technical field, but rather to engineers and leaders who could benefit from a bigger picture perspective on system interactions. The course benefits anyone
interested in understanding and managing complexity within aerospace.
