Course overview
The course aims to empower learners with the knowledge and skills necessary to conduct thorough and effective test and evaluation (T&E) processes for assurance of complex systems, contributing to better-informed decision-making and system improvements. On completion of this course the learners will be able to comprehend T&E principles and methods, evaluate systems using the scientific approach, design and implement data collection processes, and select, justify and implement an appropriate approach to system assurance. By applying this knowledge and skills, learners will develop critical thinking and complex problem-solving skills through group projects and case studies to effectively gather evidence on which to evaluate complex systems through the T&E process.
- T&E in Systems Engineering
- T&E in a Program
- Implementing T&E
Course learning outcomes
- Identify and explain the principles of test and evaluation (T&E) in a Systems Engineering context.
- Relate the elements of T&E to the systems engineering lifecycle framework.
- Critically appraise the relationship between the conduct of T&E for system assurance, and risk acceptance in the system.
- Evaluate approaches to T&E, recognising the program advantages and impositions of each.
- Recommend strategies to develop and optimise a risk-balanced assurance of systems.
- Design and document the tactical implementation of the T&E strategy to provide assurance of a system.
