Become a sharper engineering decision maker:
To develop, plan, or acquire technology-intensive products involves numerous decisions. Successful decisions often balance risks and uncertainties with known facts attempting to forecast the future. Decisions can for instance concern customer needs, design choices, or the evaluating of proposals. Except for the product or the system, engineering decisions commonly also affect the project, the product organization, the product platform, and the development lifecycle.
In a constantly changing world with shrinking market windows, engineering decision making tends to be increasingly dynamic. Too often, we also subconsciously make decisions that later turns out to have dire consequences. This course gives you the fundamentals of engineering decision making and challenges your skills as a technical decision maker.
