The instruments we are developing and operating are becoming increasingly more complex from a technical and organisational perspective. Furthermore, there is also an increasing need to keep our projects better under control. In order to achieve this, the System Engineering and Project Management (SE&PM) group has been created within the R&D department. The goal of this group is to lift these two skills to the next level within ASTRON.
To give us all a jump start into the fascinating world of Systems Engineering, the SE&PM group organised a Systems Engineering course. The course is being given by Robert Halligan from Project Performance International (PPI) in Australia. PPI plays a leading role within the systems engineering community and provided training to professionals worldwide, across all sectors, including astronomy and space companies (e.g. Astrium, CSIRO, Dutch Space, ESO, NASA, SRON, SKA South-Africa, the SKA office in the UK).
