Introduction
We live in a world where industry needs new products to be developed in an
increasingly rapid pace, where product offerings become more and more complex
and where your products must flawlessly integrate in an interconnected global
network. If your organization wants to survive these challenges and even grow
ahead of the competition, your organization needs a structured way of innovation
and smart system architectures to cope with these future demands.
Training programs to support industrial product innovation
The Embedded Systems Institute offers a range of training programs that support
industrial product innovation. These programs are designed to improve the
architectural and multidisciplinary design skills and create better awareness of
the challenges of the competitive industrial setting in which your company
operates.
System Engineering in your Company
An integrated view of your system, where different disciplines and departments
in your company are able to communicate with one another and where the key
drivers of your stakeholders are clearly in focus. The complete chain from
customer needs, the understanding of its application domain, the required
functionality of your product, towards the concepts used in the systems
architecture and the actual realization of the systems design, will become clear
by using the methods used from our training programs. This overview of the
process chain and its interrelations will significantly improve your product
creation process, making it simpler to set the right priorities and make correct
design choices.
A program for those who want to lead Engineering
In order to deal with the increasing complexity and innovation effort, high-tech
industry is in a strong need for highly qualified and experienced professionals
who can act on a system level The program offered by the Embedded Systems
Institute is meant for professionals in high-tech industry with a technical
background who want to grow on system level without leaving engineering. The
Embedded Systems Institute supports and accelerates the growth from a
mono-disciplinary engineer into a multi-disciplinary system architect who is
able to align technology- and design choices with product, market and business
drivers on a strategic level.
Designer
The program on designer level is meant for mono-disciplinary engineers and
designers with multiple years of industrial experience who have the ambition to
become a multidisciplinary designer who is active in a broader architectural and
system context. Main learning objectives on this level are; broadening the
technology scope, understanding the fundamentals of system engineering and
positioning system engineering in a project based organization.
Domain architect
The program
on domain architect level is meant for multidisciplinary designers who have the
ambition to become a domain architect who is responsible for a substantial part
of the system. Multiview system architecting, handling multiple system
qualities, dealing with uncertainty, making trade-offs with impact on a system
and organizational level and leadership are typical issues addressed on this
level. Examples of typical domains are subsystems or a dominant system
functions.
System architect
The program on system architect level is meant for domain architects who
want to become a system architect. As a system architect you are not only
responsible for the systems architecture as a whole but also directly involved
in developing architectures for future high tech systems based on new business
opportunities. Besides architectural issues such as platform design, product
line development and system evolvability also roadmapping, business innovation
and leadership are addressed. On this competence level participants are
challenged by international gurus and peers. Participants are supposed to bring
their own business case.
Courses
As mentioned above the courses of the Embedded Systems Institute are
coupled to the participants knowledge and experience. The contents
of these courses is continuously fed and updated with the results
from the research performed by the Embedded Systems Institute and
its partners.
Currently the Embedded Systems Institute offers the following courses:
Designer level

System architect
Competence Development Program
Besides courses the Embedded Systems Institute also offers a more intensive
competence development program to accelerate growth from a mono-disciplinary engineer into a multi-disciplinary system architect. The program is offered on three levels and combines courses with practical assignments, thematic working groups and personal coaching.
The lead-designer level will start on May 25, 2010
The domain architect level is scheduled to start in September 2010

In-house Training
To expressly address the challenges your organization
faces during product creation, the Embedded Systems
Institute, can offer an in-house training tailored to
your specific company needs. After a thorough intake
process, the optimal approach and content is selected
and agreed upon. Preferably with attendees from the
entire product creation chain in your company, our
in-house or on-site training will support you in
creating the right business focus of the system
engineering discipline, with the required understanding
across functions, disciplines and stakeholders, and a
clear focus on creating real customer value.
Other
Next to these courses, the other
knowledge sharing
activities at ESI will facilitate the personal
growth of a (potential) system architect.
