Mr. Robert Halligan
A five-day intensive course, Requirements Engineering, taught by Mr. Robert Halligan, an internationally known expert in the field of requirements engineering, from Project Performance International, was held from March 1 to 5, 2010. Requirements engineering is the technology required in the first process in system design to analyze, identify, and record the system requirements throughout its entire lifecycle. Using a submarine emergency signal system as an example, students effectively learned a process of requirements engineering to analyze, identify, define, review, control the quality of and manage the requirements for the system through virtual exercises and Mr. Halligan’s lectures. Many Japanese and international students attended the course offered in English. This was a great opportunity for students not only to learn about requirements engineering and its techniques through discussion with Mr. Halligan, but also to develop confidence as system designers.
