Course Overview

The Systems Engineering: Theory and Practice certification course offers students an overview of the systems engineering design approach from theoretical and practical perspectives. The focus will be on how the open-ended problems can be solved using realistic aspects like manufacturability, safety, reliability, aesthetics, operations, sustainability, and ethics.

Professor Deepu Philip will deliver the Systems Engineering: Theory and Practice online training. He is currently a Department of Industrial and Management Engineering and Design Programme faculty at IIT Kanpur. He has years of academic and industrial experience with leading institutes and firms worldwide. Thus, students can be assured of striking the right balance between theoretical and practical training in the lectures. The AICTE has also approved the course, which falls under the broad discipline of Management Studies.

The Systems Engineering: Theory and Practice certification syllabus covers a wide range of concepts from program risk reduction, prototype development and data analysis to design validation, integration and testing of the complete system features. The course curriculum perfectly suits both Undergraduate and Postgraduate students’ academic needs.

Eligibility Criteria

The Systems Engineering: Theory and Practice online training is best grasped and understood by students who have either completed six semesters of their engineering curriculum or have secured the degree already.

Certification qualifying details

Students interested in qualifying for the Systems Engineering: Theory and Practice certification have to secure at least 40/100 in the final score. For this, they should clear the minimum average internal assignment cutoff and end-term exam cutoff, which are 10/25 and 30/75, respectively. Failing to do so might render the candidates ineligible for the certification.
