What makes systems engineering a unique discipline? Systems Engineering is about considering the big picture of the project, understanding what is required, and ensuring performance.
Here’s a few primers for those unfamiliar with systems engineering:
- Requirements
- Requirements V&V
- Models
- Fishbone Diagrams
- Trade Studies
- Extremes
- Interface Control Documents (ICDs)
- Communication
- Risk Assessment and Mitigation
Thanks to James Lackey, whose article “The Systems Engineering Mindset, Problem Solving and Critical Thinking” was the inspiration for these topics.
