- Description
- NASA/ARC has a requirement for technical, programmatic and high performance expertise in applied systems engineering in order to successfully execute existing and potential NASA projects. The contractor shall provide the following: 1. A 4-day Applied Systems Engineering workshop for The Ames Project Excellence (APEX) Development Program. This workshop will be provided as follow-on to the applied systems engineering workshop provided in FY06. The workshop shall be provided for a maximum of 30 Ames employees. The Applied Systems Engineering workshop shall address key end-to-end systems engineering processes that include but is not limited to concept development, concept synthesis, defining requirements; incremental and concurrent processes; process loops for iteration and the technical and management aspects of systems engineering. The workshop shall be designed to provide participants with a practical opportunity to practice the skills by designing and interoperating robots. 2. 20 hours of expert technical assistance and consultation focused on software project management and systems engineering (appropriate for and relevant to NASA flight programs and projects). This assistance may include providing a hands-on forums for software project managers and systems engineers and providing individual expert consultation for Ames software projects and practitioners. The contractor must meet the following requirements 1. A minimum of 10 years of experience as a leader and participant in The International Council on Systems Engineering. 2.
