Automotive Systems Engineering Training

Understand methods and processes for systems requirements engineering, system architecture and system testing for the modern automotive industry.

The modern automotive industry requires the capability to develop and integrate software, hardware, mechanics, data, back-end systems and other domains into one system. For project managers, architects, designers, developers and testers looking for an integrated approach to these domains, this training teaches the important aspects of the system life cycle.

The training provides an overview of systems engineering implementation. We will cover frequently used system engineering methods from systems requirements engineering, system architecture and system testing. We will also explore the interaction of the technical core processes at the system and software levels.

The training references the key concepts of the international standard ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288:2015 for system life cycle to help participants understand system life cycle processes in automotive applications. We also delve into how risks related to a product’s functional safety (e.g., ISO 26262) and cybersecurity (e.g., ISO/SAE 21434) can be addressed with a systems engineering approach.
