Student testimonial:

“Having worked in a material acquisition for the past 18 years and as the System Engineer Manager for a Light Armored Vehicle Project at the edge of technologies for the last 8 years, I can guarantee you that this course has hit a home run for me. I was looking for an on-line course that would go over the different trades-off that designers and decision-makers go through to achieve an optimal state-of-the-art product. The course provided great coverage of Mobility, Firepower and Protection trade-offs to the ones at the sub-system level.  The entire course with support from EIT is a very well oiled machine. Great course, thanks and definitely highly recommended.”
