Description

Objective:

TST 1100 (Intro to Systems Engineering for Testers): Designed for Test and Evaluation (T&E) professionals, this Online Training (OLT) course introduces Systems Engineering (SE) and examines the various SE Technical and Technical Management Processes with an emphasis on those processes that might enable success when planning and conducting the broad range of activities associated with DoD T&E activities. Composed of three modules, the first module introduces basic SE concepts, laying the groundwork for understanding how testers apply the various Technical and Technical Management Processes. The second module focuses on the SE Technical Processes, describing the purpose of each process along with their associated activities. The third module focuses on the SE Technical Management Processes, describing the purpose of each process along with their associated activities.

TST 2100 (Applied Systems Engineering for Testers): This Online Training (OLT) course is composed of three modules. These modules provide test professionals with an in-depth look at the engineering principles and application decisions they will need to effectively and competently navigate the Department of Defense's (DoDs) Major Capability Acquisition (MCA) pathway.
