“The man-made world is

becoming more complex. The
growth of systems complexity
eventually can outpace
human ability.”

• Monitor • Communicate About
• Configure • Design and Implement
• Evolve • Manufacture

What is SYSTEMS engineering
➢ It is not fundamental mathematics or strict
laboratory science
➢ It is a mix of HR, project management, business,
rational decomposition, trade studies,
requirements traceability, integration, testing,
verification and validation, operations, and end
of life cycle disposal of systems
➢ Systems Engineering integrates all of the disciplines and
specialty groups into a team effort forming a structured
development process that proceeds from concept to
production to operation.
➢ Systems Engineering considers both the business and
the technical needs of all customers with the goal of
providing a quality product that meets the user needs.
The role of the
Systems Engineer
Any engineer acts as a systems
engineer when responsible for the
design and implementation of a total
system.
The Systems Engineering
Process
The major steps in the completion of a typical
systems engineering project are the following:
(1) problem statement;
(2) identification of objectives;
(3) generation of alternatives;
(4) analysis of these alternatives;
(5) selection of one of them;
(6) creation of the system, and, finally,
(7) operation.
