Importance of Systems Engineering
- jschveibinz 4y agoThank you for posting, but I have to disagree with taking license to redefine an entire field of engineering: > …I would like to define systems engineering as “analyzing different aspects of a system in order to better understand the performance or correctness characteristics” Here is a much better definition of systems engineering from which to make your argument: “Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary field of engineering and engineering management that focuses on how to design, integrate, and manage complex systems over their life cycles.” Wikipedia Personally, I would add “specify” in addition to design, integrate, etc. based on my 30+ years of systems engineering.
- Rochus 4y agoThis is about a subset of software engineering, not Systems Engineering as e.g. defined by IEEE 1220 or ISO 24748 or 24765.
