| 151-0057-10L | Engineering Tool: Systems Engineering for Project Work  All Engineering Tools courses are for MAVT Bachelor’s degree students only. Number of participants limited to 60. | 0.4 credits | 1K | R. Züst | |
| Abstract | The course is about a methodical basis of systematic project work, with a focus on demanding interdisciplinary problems. The participants will be shown how to use it appropriately and correctly in their projects. This short course is based on the "Systems Engineering" (SE) method, which was developed at the ETH. | ||||
| Learning objective | The goals of this compact course are: - Goal-oriented identification and perception of relevant problem areas and project goal setting. - Deduction and development of procedures for a promising project, including systematic planning of the project content. - Development of work packages including efficient methodology - Simple embedding of the projects in the organization, including relationships with buyers, users and securing project participation. | ||||
