What we offer
We recognize that projects differ widely in scope, budget, and period of performance. Therefore, we customize our offerings to meet your needs. To achieve this, we apply standard best practices in the engineering discipline as a framework. Drawn from a combination of the ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems Standard and the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook, we emphasize establishing and maintaining common expectations. Following this approach ensures that project requirements developed collectively at the start of the project guide its scope, resulting in efficient and satisfactory outcomes.
If we don’t have it available or have access to it at FAU, we can find it for you and arrange for almost anything your project needs. Just ask!
