WHAT IS SYSTEMS ENGINEERING?

• Systems Engineering is an interdisciplinary approach and means to enable the realization of successful systems.

• Systems Engineering is concerned with the overall process of defining, developing, operating, maintaining, and ultimately replacing quality systems.

• Systems Engineering integrates all the disciplines and specialty groups into a team effort forming a structured development process that proceeds from concept to production to operation.

WHAT DO SYSTEMS ENGINEERINGS DO?

• Systems Engineers concentrate their efforts on the aspects of the engineering process (requirements definition, top-level functional designs, project management, life cycle cost analysis,...) that serve to organize and coordinate other engineering activities.

• The Systems Engineer is the primary interface between management, customers, suppliers, and specialty engineers in the systems development process.
