ENTE401

This course provides a basic understanding of the Development, Test & Evaluation, Verification & Validation (DTEVV) process used to produce new aviation systems. While the course will mainly focus on DTEVV of aviation platforms/systems, the basics taught can be applied to any domain. The course will provide students with: the history and development of DTEVV; basic DTEVV concepts and ways to approach DTEVV; issues relating to various forms of DTEVV (i.e.. Contractor, Government, Developmental, and Operational); common tools used in the test and evaluation community; the role of DTEVV during a systems lifecycle; and the engineering rigor that is applied to DTEVV to properly assess risk prior to fielding. This course will provide a solid foundation to join the DTEVV community upon completion.
