Systems & Design Engineering
Bell Telephone Laboratories coined the term Systems Engineering back in the 1940s when it was determined that individual engineering projects when put together do not necessarily create the same thing as a desired complex system.
Engineering is traditionally decompositional. That is, to understand the whole, it first has to be separated into its parts. Upon mastering the individual parts they can be reassembled whereupon the engineer can become a master of the whole.
The systems engineering approach is quite the opposite where any one part cannot be understood without the context of the whole. That is, with traditional engineering the parts are understood first but with systems engineering, the whole is understood first and then the role of each part is mastered.
An engineered solution combines components that work in union to collectively perform a useful function. Employing multiple disciplines, systems engineering focuses on how to design, integrate, and manage complex systems over their life cycles.
The discovery process is of the utmost importance - finding out the real problems that need to be resolved and identifying the potential drawbacks and possible failures in order to come up with the most proficient and cost effective solutions.
Systems engineering ensures that all likely aspects of a project or system are considered when integrating into the whole.
Complex System Design
Developing conceptual and detailed designs ensure a product functions, performs, and is fit for its purpose. The greater the complexity, the more important a truly engineered design becomes.
