Introduction to Systems Engineering Coursera

Overview

The Introduction to Systems Engineering  Specialization offered by Coursera in partnership with University of Colorado Boulder introduces you to the holistic and interdisciplinary systems engineering approach to designing, realizing, and managing complex systems. In this three-course specialization, you will learn how to evolve a project from idea to fielded hardware customized to meet customer requirements while effectively managing costs, timescales, and limiting risks. 

Key facts

• You will identify and define a system and its components, model a system life cycle, and apply systems engineering methods using real-world engineering examples. 

• The knowledge and terminology gained here empower you to work effectively with your project team and allow you to understand and speak the specialized language of systems engineering.

• This specialization can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Master of Engineering in Engineering Management (ME-EM) degree offered on the Coursera platform. 

• The ME-EM is designed to help engineers, scientists, and technical professionals move into leadership and management roles in the engineering and technical sectors.
