    This document summarizes a case study on the Palm Jumeirah Islands development project in Dubai from a systems engineering perspective. The project aimed to extend Dubai's coastline by constructing artificial islands in the shape of a palm tree using sand and rocks. It involved analyzing needs, exploring concepts, analyzing and mitigating risks, and conducting tests and simulations. Some challenges included managing schedules, construction progress, and a multilingual workforce. Through effective application of systems engineering principles, the unproven technology was successfully implemented and risks were nullified to complete the project on time.
