Upcoming Intro to Systems Engineering course on Coursera
« on: January 10, 2014, 08:28:28 pm »
I came across this upcoming course on Coursera starting in April and I thought others might be interested as well: https://www.coursera.org/course/introse

Below is the course description from the site:

About the Course

Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary approach to design, implementation and evaluation that holds the key to the successful development of complex human-made systems. This course explores a framework encapsulating the entire systems engineering discipline, clearly showing where the multitude of associated activities fits within the overall effort and how the activities relate to one another.  Systems engineering is a very broad discipline, so we also discuss how the concepts and procedures could be applied to individual projects. A new theme will be explored each week using presentations to introduce and synthesise key concepts, examples to simulate authentic contexts, and structured activities to guide your learning.

The course is relevant to all professions associated with the introduction of complex human-made systems: project managers, engineers, quality assurance representatives, integrated logistic support practitioners, operators, managers, maintainers, and so on, from students to professionals, from novices to experienced practitioners, from technical to non-technical people.

Has anyone attended this course? Was it any good? I didn't, and i'm afraid OP won't be able to answer me. But it is starting again in a few months.

I signed up, but there was some problem with logging in, basically some unis on coursera are dicks and will lock you out of a course if you miss accepting Honor Code within couple of days of course start. Cant even access course archive now

I download all my courses using https://github.com/coursera-dl/coursera , this one refused to cooperate :/
Who logs in to gdm? Not I, said the duck.
My fireplace is on fire, but in all the wrong places.
