To understand how systems engineering and project management can be applied to the lifecycle of environmental systems. The lifecycle starts with the identification of the need, then goes though requirements, design, build, test, commission and use, before finishing with decommission. The module shows how the lifecycle is managed in a concurrent engineering context, and examines the relationship between systems engineering and project management. The module will cover an introduction to the concepts of Systems, Systems Engineering, Systems Engineering Management and Project Management.
