Navigate a two-hour course on systems engineering neural networks, linking philosophy and technology, exploring machine learning in the system lifecycle, with applications, resources, exercises, and INCOSE certification references.
Explore the basics of machine learning, the system thinking approach, and the philosophy of artificial neural networks, with practical exercises to reflect on learning and apply to your own project.
Explore how machine learning fits with neural networks within a systemic approach to modeling reality, covering deep learning, neural networks, and the role of weights, biases, and transfer functions.
Master complexity with systems engineering, applying risk management, verification and validation, and a clear system architecture that spans software and hardware components and AI interfaces.
Represent reality through neural networks by translating observations into mathematical laws to understand complexity and connect systems engineering, system architecture and modeling across the lifecycle.
Explore how complexity regulates the system life cycle to anticipate costs and delays. Explain the phases development, production, use, decommissioning, disposal, and the systems engineer's role across the life cycle.
Discover the convergence of AI and systems engineering, with AI for systems engineering and systems engineering for AI, and see how intelligent agents and data analytics advance autonomous vehicles.
Explore how ANN and AI interchangeably define intelligent systems that learn and adapt, addressing data bias and aeronautical components, across the systems engineering lifecycle.
Apply a systems engineering approach to embed neural networks within subsystems, enabling computer vision, speech recognition, and natural language processing for classification, pattern recognition, and optimization.
Use neural networks to classify surface and intergranular corrosion types in metal structures during maintenance. Train on humidity and exposure data from drones and sensors to predict corrosion outcomes.
Use neural networks within the resource management process to classify athletes as offensive or defensive roles in a sport club, informing decision making with prediction insights and field distance analysis.
Conclude this introduction to systems engineering neural networks by summarizing module two’s machine learning in the system lifecycle and module three’s practical examples, with references and INCOSE PDUs.
Discover systems engineering and neural networks through curated resources, including a certification quiz, ai for everyone, and updates from AiShed's newsletter on metaverse and model-based systems engineering.
Systems Engineering and Artificial Neural Networks? In appearance strange bedfellows, but deceitfully so. Over our lives, we spend a long time thinking about making the right decisions, but we hardly stop and think about how we do it. We do know that our brain processes millions of data simultaneously, and sometimes we do not even realize that a “synaptic journey” has taken place. Every day, we deal with problems that can be seen as optimizing complex “systems”.
According to IBM “Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer science which focuses on the use of data and algorithms to imitate the way that humans learn, gradually improving its accuracy.”
Naturally, this short course cannot cover all the contents of the reference material, but will cover the key topics such as the definition and engineering of neural networks. Then it will progress to the system thinking approach, with questions to help you reflect on what you have learned and apply what you've learned to your own project. So what do you need to follow this course? Thirst for knowledge, resourcefulness because the subject is complex, and it requires you to be proactive and go online to fill the gaps by reading articles and other resources, and even follow other online courses on the same topic. And of course, a great deal of patience because, as said, the subject requires some time to be fully mastered.
