Adventures in systems engineering training course
Systems engineering activities across a full life cycle
To book this as a group in-company course contact us to discuss your requirements.
About the technical training course
A three-day course in Systems Engineering activities across a full life cycle, covering:
- Introduction to systems engineering
- Stakeholder engagement
- Context diagrams
- Life cycle concepts
- Requirements definition
- Interfaces
- Breakdown structures
- Concept design
- Trade-offs and design decisions
- Detailed design
- Assembly and integration
- Testing
- Verification and validation
- the V model
This course is based on the book ‘Adventures in Systems Engineering’, published by INCOSE UK, and the content is taught through interactive, fantasy themed storytelling.
Participants work in teams to define, design and deliver an imaginary rescue system over a simulated full life cycle, all the while journeying across an enchanted valley.
Throughout the course, teams encounter engaging characters and scenarios that prompt them to perform systems engineering activities.

Key learning objectives
- What is systems engineering?
- What are the benefits of systems engineering and why is it needed for complex projects?
- How does systems engineering fit into a project life cycle?
- What systems engineering techniques exist and how do I use them?
- How can I apply basic systems engineering principles in my day-to-day work?
- Where do I go for further information?
Each of the Modules is also linked to a relevant competency area in the INCOSE Systems Engineering Competency Framework [INCOSE TP-2018-002-01.0].
This course contributes to building these selected competencies to between ‘awareness’ and ‘supervised practioner’ level - depending on the competency’s chosen indicators of knowledge and the depth of the matching Module. The Art of Modellin.
Who should attend?
The course is intended for participants who:
- Work or aspire to work on complex technical projects, whether as engineers, designers, project managers, scientists, researchers, those in the procurement or sales team, analysts - anyone at all who works or will work on integrated projects and needs an appreciation of systems engineering.
- Need to learn systems engineering techniques that they can take back to their desk and start using right away
- Are early career professionals, or university students, who will particularly appreciate the fantasy theme as a break from traditional engineering education methods (or indeed later career professionals without prior systems engineering knowledge who would also appreciate an engaging fantasy context).
