TONEX Systems Engineering (SE) Training Course Catalog

Foundation Systems Engineering Courses: 901 - Systems Engineering Training Level I

2011-03-10T19:20:53-05:00

Systems Engineering (SE) Fundamentals helps attendees to understand systems engineering processes, application, and its value to the successful implementations of the systems developments projects.

This two-day course will introduce attendees to the principles of Systems engineering (SE). After completion of the course, attendees will be able to implement SE processes, tools, and techniques in the design and development of products and services

The course is a key to achieving reliable, efficient, cost-effective products and services in diverse fields, including communication and network systems, software engineering, information systems, manufacturing, command and control, and defense systems acquisition and procurement. The course also teaches techniques for accurately eliciting, analyzing, and specifying software requirements.

Tonex systems engineering training provides a comprehensive overview of the activities that comprise software requirements engineering including software requirements elicitation, analysis, and specification. These activities are introduced as they occur in the context of systems engineering and various software development life-cycle models. Introduction to specific methods, tools, and notations for each of these activities is included:

Operations
Cost & Schedule
Performance
Training & Support
Test
Disposal
Manufacturing

Of the many techniques for eliciting, analyzing, and specifying requirements, no one technique applies to every problem. Rather, a combination of techniques is often most appropriate to address an individual problem. Thus, in addition to acquiring skills in specific techniques and notations, students learn to recognize when the use of these techniques and notations is appropriate.

Software developers learn how to reduce the number of errors in software requirements by implementing appropriate combinations of elicitation, analysis, and specification activities for specific problems.

Certification and Advanced Systems Engineering Training Courses: 903 - Specifications Writing Training

2011-04-18T23:01:52-04:00

Specifications Writing Training course addresses the techniques used to write, validate and verify requirements and convert them to technical design specifications. It gives attendees the basic tools necessary to write effective system design specifications.

Requirements are the foundation for building systems and software. They determine WHAT the system must do and drive the system development. Requirements are used to determine [verify] if the project team built the system correctly. The requirements development process identifies the activities needed to produce a set of complete and verifiable requirements.

Requirements define the functions, performance, and environment of the system under development to a level that can be built:
Does the system do WHAT it is supposed to do? - These are Functional requirements.
How well does the system do its functions? - These are Performance requirements.

TONEX Specifications Writing Training provides the foundation to produce requirements for the system and sub-systems with set of activities . The systems engineering standard [EIA 632] defines “requirement” as “something that governs what, how well, and under what conditions a product will achieve a given purpose.”

There are three key processes in the DOD that must work in concert to deliver the capabilities required by the warfighter: the requirements process; the acquisition process; and the Planning, Programming, Budget, and Execution (PPBE) process. JCIDS implements the requirements process. JCIDS supports the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) and the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) in identifying, assessing, and prioritizing joint military capability needs as required by law. The capabilities are identified by analyzing what is required across all functional areas to accomplish the mission. (Source: DAU Glossary of Defense Acquisition Acronyms & Terms)

Model-Based Systems Engineering Training: 11501 - SysML Training - SysML Training Course Bootcamp - Systems Engineering with SysML and UML Training Bootcamp: Modeling, Analysis, Design

2012-01-03T00:56:06-05:00

TONEX's SysML Training Course is an stention to Systems Engineering Training providing a comprehensive and practical resource for modeling systems with SysML

SysML for Systems Engineering includes Systems modelling, System Analysis and System Design as essential enabling techniqued for systems engineering processes (Systems Modeling Language (SysML) a subset of UML for Systems Engineering).

This course provides a technical deatils of SysML as a systems engineering modelling language. The syntax of SysML is covered and each concept is explained through a number of hands-on practical application workshops and a complete SysML Reference Guide.

50% lectures and 50 % practical (hands on exercises).

Objectives:

Upon completion of this course, the attendees will be able to:

Describe UML
Describe SysML
Describe model-based systems engineering approach
List SysML diagrams and language concepts
Apply SysML as part of a model based SE process
Explore transitioning to SysML
Synthesize and analyze existing architecting approaches to enhancing creativity while reducing ambiguity and complexity.
Utilize out-of-the-box holistic system thinking
Develop a system conceptual model and architecture using SysML.
Define system architecture, modeling, form, function, structure and behavior with SysML
Describe how a system's function emerges from its form and behavior
Describe the notions of system, product, service, and project with SysML
Model a combined Project-Product Lifecycle Management system and study the benefits of the project-product synergies with SysML
Work with real life projects using SysML

Prerequisites: Familiarity with UML is recommended; the class includes a basic overview of UML as needed

Cost: $2199, Duration: 3 Day(s)
