Systems Engineering: Principles, Analysis, and Management

Other subjects2.54 KB

What Is Systems Engineering?

Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary approach to studying and understanding reality to implement or optimize complex systems. It functions as the technological application of systems theory to engineering efforts, utilizing the systemic paradigm. Systems engineering integrates various disciplines and specialty groups into a team effort, forming a structured development process.

A major difference between systems engineering and traditional engineering disciplines is that systems engineering does not build tangible products. While civil engineers design buildings or bridges and electrical engineers design circuits, systems engineers deal with abstract systems using systems science methodologies. They rely on...
