Overview

This course discusses the main design and development (EDD) process involved in the making of the assets required as part of large infrastructure projects and associated components. Current shortcomings and Systems Thinking/Engineering based methods are introduced to equip the delegates with the tools and techniques to detect and prevent design errors and lead or facilitate the design of complex systems such as road or rail networks, power plants, mines, and mining operations.

Why Should an Individual Attend?

• Understand the EDD process across all phases of infrastructure projects.
• Use Systems Thinking to manage complexity and integrate team inputs.
• Avoid costly mistakes with tools like FMEA and error prevention methods.
• Lead complex designs for roads, railways, power plants, and mines.
• Connect engineering with project management for better coordination.
• Know what to deliver at each stage of the engineering lifecycle.
• Advance your career as a skilled engineering manager in large projects.

Outcomes

By the end of the course, delegates will be able to:

• Detect and prevent design and engineering errors.
• Lead or support the design of complex systems and infrastructure.
• Recognize key engineering outputs across the project lifecycle.
• Understand how engineering failures can lead to cost overruns, delays, and reputational damage.
