Systems Engineer • System A group of elements that are integrated with the common purpose of achieving an objective
Systems Engineer • Subsystem • A system on its own as well as being part of a larger system
Systems Engineer If the world is a system How does it relate to you as a person? World Country State YOU Family Community City
Systems Engineer • Definition (There is no consensus): Integrated approach to synthesis of entire systems designed to perform tasks in what is expected to be most efficient possible manner, with each component of system designed to function as part of a single entity http://www.scivis.nps.navy.mil/~me/calvano/asnesem/tsld016.htm
Systems Engineer • Focus on the methods to solve problems and not the solution of the problem • Are largely embodied in computer-based representation, analysis and design as well as software and software systems http://www.isr.umd.edu/ISR/about/definese.html
Why System Engineering • To build a better product • A product, and the processes to produce it, are at the heart of it all http://www.scivis.nps.navy.mil/~me/calvano/asnesem/tsld016.htm
Justification or Need • There is a demand of good Systems Engineers because of: • The Complexity of production • Decreasing reaction times: • More devastating threats • Burgeoning technical development • Affordableissues • Intolerance of failure http://www.scivis.nps.navy.mil/~me/calvano/asnesem/tsld016.htm
Another Systems Engineering Description • An approach which views an entire system of components as an entity rather than simply an assembly of individual parts… components designed to work properly with other components rather than to function by itself http://www.scivis.nps.navy.mil/~me/calvano/asnesem/tsld016.htm
Need to be Knowledgeable • Systems engineers need a broad knowledge of developments in various fields of science as well as thorough grounding in general techniques of mathematical and physical analysis and optimization, along with generous knowledge in computer software and software programs http://www.scivis.nps.navy.mil/~me/calvano/asnesem/tsld016.htm
Systems Engineer Has both the expertise of selecting the right technical solution within a project’s cost and schedule constraints and an understanding of the system and its technical complexity. http://systemsengineering.standford.edu/
Systems Engineer The systems engineer has become a valued position in many companies and organizations both large and small. http://systemsengineering.standford.edu/
Systems Engineers • Ability to look at the larger picture • Take into account how factors such as • Technology • Environment • Management • Risk • Research • All contribute to the overall success or failure • of a product http://systemsengineering.standford.edu/
Standards to be met: • 2.W 6.H • 2.X 6.I • 2.Y • 2.FF
