Product Development & Systems Engineering uses a structured yet flexible approach to provide a holistic, solid foundation to the successful development of complex products or systems.
This course will take you step by step through the product life cycle, from conception to design, development, production, deployment, sustainment and disposal. You will learn how the different components of a system interrelate, and how each contributes product accomplishing its missions. Systems engineering terminology, which can so often confuse the newcomer, is presented in an easily digestible form. Video lectures for individual topics will introduce key concepts. This course welcomes anyone who wants to find out how complex products or systems can be developed and implemented successfully. It is relevant to anyone in project management, engineering, quality assurance, product support, operations, management, maintenance and many other areas. No specific background is required, and we welcome learners with all levels of interest and experience.
The course is based on ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 – the same standard used by the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE). Therefore, students will be armed with the knowledge required to take the INCOSE knowledge exam for Systems Engineering Preparation (SEP) certification. This course covers all of the material from the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook 4th edition – and much more!
If you would like to supplement this course with over 800 sample INCOSE exam questions, send me a message here on Udemy and I will provide more information. Note for clarity: This course does not come with sample test questions. These are offered offsite at a higher price.
Who this course is for:
- Product developers
- Engineering and systems engineering professionals
- Engineering students and instructors
- Professionals seeking INCOSE certification

Soumyajit Behera –
So far (till halfway) the course has proved itself to be better than any other lecture/material on SE. It has clarified my long standing doubts and is interspersed with numerous useful examples throughout. The illustrations/graphics used by the instructor are worth special appraisal as key facilitators of comprehension.
Dana Engebreth –
Yes, this course has been a good match for me so far. I’m learning a lot about the technical processes of SE. It’s allowing me to look back on previous experience and connect in the life cycle where things could’ve been done better.
Rory Giles –
Very comprehensive course. The only improvement would be supplemental material and exercises to help cement the material.
Mark Ryan Dasco –
Most complete and detailed lecture for Systems Engineering!
Colin Gilbert –
I didn’t know the prof is so qualified. Nor could I have guessed that he’d be so fit and good-looking; an excellent role model for my own eventual silver age. However, he does tend to follow the slides a bit. In fairness, he very much does elaborate upon them but I’d like to hear more about his experiences. Also, I think a complete set of documentation from an example project would help us cement our understandings.
Mehmet Yalinalp –
Well structured, detailed, and communicated content. Appropriate for those who would like to gain a fundamental understanding of the full scope of System Engineering. Thanks.
Hélène Rouchy –
Good, dense and interesting content but missing a pdf summary to keep on the office desk
Joseph Stanko –
Outstanding course! Very informative and very well presented – Thank you!
Raid AlQaisi –
Great instructor and informative use of material!
SE never been that easy!
Chuck Gaff –
Excellent course on Systems Engineering. You cannot beat the value. My only suggestion for improvement would be that some topics could be more concise. This may be due to the nature of Systems Engineering.
Aabhas Srivastava –
This course has been really helpful in my study for the INCOSE ASEP certification. A lot of SE concepts became clearer with Christopher’s explanations.
For future aspirants, do read the INCOSE handbook and try and understand how the processes flow through each other and their inter-relations.
Mark Eiben –
a lot of information to take in. I have been a IT systems engineer for a few years and would have loved to have found this course sooner.
