The Society of Mobility Engineers Australasia is very pleased to present its August webinar on Systems Engineering Principals, Practices and Techniques (PPT) in project delivery and how to use systems engineering as a toolkit to navigate complex and/or project environments.

Whilst all members are welcome to attend, this session specifically focuses on the basic fundamentals of Systems Engineering for student members especially Formula Students as they develop their vehicles for this year’s comp.

Topics presented will include: 

  • Quick definition “What is a system” and what are its main characteristics

  • Identifying the system in question in its environment

  • Identifying system boundaries, interfaces, and stakeholders

  • Overview system of systems, system interactions and potential issues

  • Including some practical examples

These topics will help to:

  • identify what is important to know exactly, what can be guessed

  • identify cornerstones for architectural decisions for the systems

  • identify which corners can be cut, and which mustn’t
