SyntheSys Technologies to Exhibit at the INCOSE Annual Systems Engineering Conference (ASEC) 2021

The Annual Systems Engineering Conference is the United Kingdom (UK’s) premier Systems Engineering event, attracting a wide range of industry, academic, and government professionals and is an event that we have taken great pride in supporting over the years.

In continuing this effort, we are thrilled to confirm that we will be exhibiting at the 2021 event where our technical staff will be on-hand to meet with members of the systems engineering community.  The event takes place at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds on 23^rd & 24^th November 2021.

We are also pleased to be featuring as part of the plenary programme where we will be briefing on what we hope will be a thought-provoking paper entitled ‘More Than the Sum of Parts: Agile Delivery in a System-of-Systems Context’.

We look forward to welcoming members of the community to our stand and supporting presentation.  If you would like to talk to us about our attendance or earmark some time for a 1-2-1 discussion with us, contact cet@synthesys.co.uk

Registration Now Open for Online Introduction to Systems Engineering Course 9-10 February 2021

 

Following the overwhelming interest we have received in our Introduction to Systems Engineering course, and in response to the current COVID-19 restrictions, we are delighted to confirm that the next scheduled course will take place via online delivery.

This two-day course has been designed to provide a high-level foundation to the principles and practices of systems engineering.  The course content is aligned with the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) Systems Engineering Handbook and provides an introduction and overview of the processes required for successful systems engineering delivery on projects. 

Presented by a fully accredited, Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP) instructor, the course examines the role and benefits of applying systems engineering principles within your organisation.  We teach students how to define systems engineering, understand the approach and scope and identify key systems engineering models.

What you will learn:

• A definition of systems engineering in accordance with the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook;
• An understanding of the systems engineering approach and scope;
• Key systems engineering models and details of each;
• How systems engineering methodology improves engineering programmes and how to apply these methods;
• The role of organisational stakeholders throughout the systems engineering life cycle, and the vital role each plays;
• The cost element of systems engineering.

SyntheSys’ Cogs Turn in a Different Direction with Successful Delivery of Training to Mechanical Engineers

An ongoing commitment to diversification during 2014 has given SyntheSys leverage to successfully deliver our ‘Introduction to Systems Engineering’ Training Course on behalf of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). We are delighted to be supporting the bi-annual delivery of the course which is aimed at both new and established Systems Engineers alike.

This unique foundation level course combines practical experience with INCOSE* certified theory to inform students of the fundamentals and processes of Systems Engineering. Students from a range of different organisations have benefitted from practical exercises and knowledge relay, thus gaining an understanding of key themes from General Systems Engineering Principles through to Test and Acceptance procedures.

‘’We are pleased to be working with such a prestigious organisation to deliver, what we feel, is a truly value added training solution. Feedback from the course we have delivered thus far has been encouraging and we are happy to be building relationships in what is, for us, a different avenue from our traditional military market’’ commented Mark Williamson, SyntheSys’ INCOSE Practitioner and Course Tutor.

Our capability does not end there, we also offer Associate Systems Engineering Professional (ASEP) and Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP) certification preparation courses which are based on the INCOSE Systems Engineering handbook v3.2.2.
