Systems Engineering
Course Summary
Do you like solving complex problems? Are you creative? Systems Engineering involves the design, production, operation, evaluation and iteration of integrated systems, which mediate and control many aspects of human experience. You will identify and quantify systems goals, generate system designs, practice trial and error, justify design trade-offs, select and implement the most appropriate designs. In addition, you will learn basic AutoCAD Inventor which brings you mechanical catapult to life with precise 3D modeling and seamless part integration. From there, our 3D printing and laser cutting facilities quickly turn your designs into real, ready-to-assemble components.
