Course description
Systems Engineering for Safety (SEFS)
- Introduce you to the technical and organisational aspects of systems engineering, focusing on early lifecycle systems analysis and modelling (i.e. systems concepts, requirements and architectures);
- Present you with systems engineering principles which are applicable to a range of critical engineering systems (e.g. control systems, platforms, systems of systems and autonomous and configurable systems);
- Focus on the early consideration of, and tradeoffs between, technical as well as economic attributes such as safety, maintainability, cost and time-to-market in the context of key organisational challenges related to technology readiness and process maturity.

Suitability - Who should attend?
This course is suitable for:
- Practitioners across all domains including aerospace, military, railway, automotive, civil nuclear, civil maritime, medical devices and healthcare;
- Developers of equipment safety cases during design for software, hardware, procedures, systems and/or platforms;
- Developers of safety cases for operational safety and disposal;
- Reviewers of safety cases within an organisation or as an independent activity;
- Developers and reviewers of changes to existing safety-critical / safety-related equipment and operations;
- Project managers where development of a safety case is a significant element of projects they manage;
- Regulators of safety critical domains.
Prerequisites
A basic understanding of system safety terminology and lifecycle via prior learning or industrial experience. It is useful for you to have taken our
Outcome / Qualification etc.
By the end of this course you will be able to:
- Explain the scope and nature of systems engineering in the context of high safety risk industries;
- Identify and assess the interaction between systems engineering and economics;
- Describe the role and importance of organisational aspects of systems engineering in the development life-cycle in the context of high safety risk industries;
- Describe the principles of, and issues concerning, systems requirements, architectures, modelling, trade-offs, design rationale and product lines as well as emerging concepts in systems engineering related to adaptive systems;
- Participate in requirements definition, architecture design, trade-off analysis and system modelling.
Course delivery details
During the teaching week there will be a combination of lecture materials and case studies to explore. The case studies give you the chance to work through an example to reinforce your learning from the lectures.
