Implementation of Systems Engineering Concepts in Army Training.

Abstract : The paper gives an account of a review of systems engineering concepts as applied to training programs at an Army training school. It was concluded that through systems engineering, the programs are being reoriented toward actual job requirements, reducing the 'nice-to-know' and focusing on the 'need-to-know.' Since the programs are being constructed by personnel relatively unskilled in systems engineering and training program design, appropriate training methods are being recommended. An Army-developed systems engineering guide (CONARC Regulation 350-100-1, Systems Engineering of Training) was reviewed and reduced to outline form, and a graphic display of products of information and subproducts, or elements of work, was prepared.
