What is systems engineering Structures and disciplines the classic engineering process Improves communication and provides a shared vision of the need and solution Architects both the process and product Reduces risk of cost over runs, schedule slides and inferior products
Systems Engineering Basics View anything and everything as a system Develop all four FRAT views of each system Use the systems approach to do anything Maintain a shared vision of process and products
Apply SE to 3 types of systems development and operating environment process system product system

TYPES OF SYSTEMS ENGINEERS All definitions fall in one or more of these categories: SPEC - Product definition activities SEMP - Product development activities Capability-Process improvement activities

Conclusions Systems engineering (SE) is a task that should be performed as part of any job. Practicing systems engineers specialize in performing specific SE tasks and may not have skills to perform all SE tasks Need someone or a small team to mentor and continually improve the practice of SE tasks
